Leelah Alcorn Biography

Leelah Alcorn is one of the most popular and richest Blogger who was born on November 15, 1997 in Ohio, United States.

Alcorn was one of several children. She described herself as being raised in a conservative Christian environment; she and her family attended the Northeast Church of Christ in Cincinnati, and she had been featured in a profile of that church published in a 2011 article in The Christian Chronicle. As of 2014, the family lived in Kings Mills, Ohio.

Allison Woolbert, executive director of the Transgender Human Rights Institute, informed The Independent that Alcorn’s case was “not unique”; the newspaper highlighted research from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicating that LGBT youth are about twice as likely to attempt suicide than heterosexual, cisgender teenagers. Newsweek similarly placed Alcorn’s suicide within its wider context of transphobic discrimination, highlighting that the Youth Suicide Prevention Program reports that over 50 percent of transgender youths attempt suicide before the age of 20, and that the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs recently published a report indicating that 72 percent of LGBT homicide victims in 2013 were transgender women. Kevin Jennings of the Arcus Foundation also situated Alcorn’s death within wider problems facing young LGBT people. In his view, she became “an international symbol of the ongoing challenges faced by LGBT youth”, adding that her death “reminds us of a basic lesson still being taught to young people across America: When it comes to gender identity, it’s best to be cisgender; and when it comes to sexual orientation, it’s best to be straight.”
