Fyrsta transkonan á forsíðu breska Vogue

Laverne Cox prýðir for­síð­una ásamt 14 öðrum konum á tölu­blað­inu sem Meghan Markle, her­toga­ynja af Sussex, rit­stýrir ásamt aðal­rit­stjóra blaðs­ins, Edw­ard Enn­ing­ful.

Laverne Cox sagði þetta vera mik­inn heiður þegar blaða­maður Vogue náði tali af henni dag­inn sem Peter Lind­bergh mynd­aði hana fyrir for­síð­una.

Þegar blaða­maður spurði hana hvernig til­finn­ingin væri þurfti hún að halda aftur af tár­unum. „Vá. Þetta er stór dagur fyrir mig,“ sagði hún.

„En ég er ekki fyrsta trans­konan til að prýða for­síðu Vogue. Val­ent­ina Sampaio á for­síðu franska Vogue á heið­ur­inn að því og Indya Moore á for­síðu Teen Vogue. Það er dásam­legt að ég skuli ekki vera súr fyrsta. Ég elska þessa sögu. Ég fylgi í fót­spor þeirra.“
