CBS Anchors Celebrate the NFL Hiring Its First Transgender Cheerleader and Hope Little Kids at Home Will Be Inspired and Feel More Confident

‘And you continue to speak your truth because we’re here for it’

EXCERPT:

SEYMOUR: "The NFL has hired its first openly transgender cheerleader. Justine Lindsay first told the world in an Instagram post back in March that she made the Topcats, the cheerleading squad for the Carolina Panthers. In that same post, she came out as transgender. While that post came out a few months ago, she is just now speaking out about the position, telling 'Buzzfeed News,' 'I think more people need to see this. It's not because I want recognition. It’s just to shed light on what is going on in the world.' And you continue to speak your truth, because we're here for it. We're definitely here for that."
LOGAN: "Yeah. You don’t know how many little kids at home might see that and be totally inspired and feel just more confident."
