Up for grabs

After the Florida senator's exit from the GOP race, some of his 164 delegates will be up for grabs. The fate of the delegates of defunct candidates hasn't meant much to the nominating conventions for decades, but in a year like 2016, every last delegate could make the difference.

New York City will soon allow transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice in city facilities. Similar laws are being debated countrywide, but in spite of a growing voice in popular culture, transgender people are still widely misunderstood. "Raising Ryland" chronicles one family's journey parenting a transgender child, who's already facing a major hurdle.
