Channels In The Life
Season 17, Episode 8 of 12

Former NBA player John Amaechi hosts this month's Encore IN THE LIFE, Voices of Pride. With June Pride almost here, this month's show takes a step back to reflect on some of the stories that have propelled the LGBT community forward. In A Quest for Gabriel, we learn about Lupita Benitez, who was denied infertility care when her doctor claimed a religious objection to treating lesbians. Where does religious freedom end, and bigotry begin? This case's outcome will have far-reaching implications for all Americans who want to be parents. In Pas De Deux, we meet Pedro Ruiz, who for over 20 years toured the world and created ballets celebrating the rich culture of his native country, Cuba. Playwright Eve Ensler, who captivated audiences with her production, The Vagina Monologues, later collaborated with a group of transgender women to create a new version of it: Beautiful Daughters. We look at that documentary, following the production and exploring the lives of these remarkable women.
