SPEAKING OF DREAM JOURNALS, THIS IS-- MAY I SHOW THIS PHOTO.
THIS IS YOU LAST NIGHT WITH BEYONCE AT THE GRAMMYS.
(APPLAUSE) ARE YOU DOING OKAY?
ARE YOU GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?
>> STEPHEN, I MET THE QUEEN.
I MET THE QUEEN AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE OFTEN IMAGINED THIS DAY.
I'VE DREAMED OF THE DAY, AT THE GRAMMYS LAST NIGHT AND I SAW,
YOU KNOW, IT IS FUNNY, I WAS GETTING READY.
OH MY GOSH.
I AM NOT GOING TO START CRYING.
I STARTED CRYING THINKING ABOUT IT IN MY APARTMENT.
>> Stephen: ALONE.
>> ALONE IN MY APARTMENT, JUST IN TEASER.
AND THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT WHEN YOU MEET THE QUEEN, A CALM
COMES OVER YOU.
I-- I SWEAR TO GOD.
>> Stephen: I'M SHIRE STHES' VERY NICE.
>> A CALM CAME OVER ME AND I DID NOT CRY.
I WAS STRANGELY CALM.
I WALKED UP TO HER.
SHE PASSED ME IN THE AISLE AND THE COMMERCIAL BREAK CAME AND I
SAID THIS IS MY CHANCE.
AND I GET UP AND I'M LIKE OKAY, MY GIRLFRIEND IS WITH ME.
I'M GOING TO GO SHE IS TALKING WITH SOME FOLKS AND SHE IS
SEATED AND BEAUTIFULFULLY PREGNANT NOW AND I KIND OF PEEK
OVER AND I SMILE AT HER.
AND SHE SEES ME AND HER FACE LIGHTS UP.
AND THE MOMENT SHE SEES ME SHE IS LIKE HELP ME UP.
SHE GOT UP, SHE GOT UP FOR ME.
BEYONCE GOT UP FOR ME.
(APPLAUSE) AND SHE HAD HEARD FROM HER
PEOPLE THAT I'M A HUGE FAN.
SHE SEN ME FLOWERS.
I DID A DESTINY'S CHILD SONG FOR LIP SYNC BATTLE.
LONG STORY SHORT, SHE WAS INCREDIBLE.
SHE WAS SO SWEET AND I WAS VERY CALM.
I GOT BACK TO MY SEAT AND I CRIED.
I DID NOT CRY WHEN I MET HER.
>> Stephen: I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
THAT SAY FANTASTIC STORY.
YOU WERE THERE FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT AM YOU MUST BE EXHAUSTED.
>> I FLEW BACK ON A RED EYE YES, AND I DID SLEEP MOST OF THE TIME
BUT I'M COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED NOW.
BUT ALL FOR YOU, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.
>> WHEN I DID THE RED EYE MY FACE LOOKS LIKE A CATCHER'S MIT
THE NEXT DAY.
>> I HAVE AN AMAZING HAIR AND MAKEUP SHOUT OUT TO DEJA.
SO I HAVE A REALLY GOOD TEAMMENT I WISH I COULD SAY THAT I WOKE
UP LIKE THIS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY,.
>> Stephen: WELL, LAST NIGHT WHEN WERE YOU INTRODUCING LADY
GAGA AND METALLICA YOU GAVE THE AUDIENCE AN ASSIGNMENTth.
BOTH THERE AND AT HOME.
YOU SAID EVERYONE GOOGLE GAVIN GRIM, WHY SHOULD WE GOOGLE HIP.
>> GAVIN GRIM IS A 17 YEAR OLD YOUNG MAN FROM GLOUCESTER,
VIRGINIA, AND IS HE GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT MARCH 28th.
AND IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THAT THE SUPREME COURT IS
HEARING A CASE ON TRANSGENDER RIGHTS.
GAVIN GRIM HAD TO SUE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IN GLOUCESTER TO BE
ABLE TO USE THE BOY'S BATHROOM, ALL THE OTHER BOYS IN HIS SCHOOL
ARE ABLE TO BECAUSE IS HE TRANSGENDER.
AND AND SO GAVIN HAD TO GO TO A BATHROOM WAY OFF, YOU KNOW, THAT
WAS VERY MUCH LIKE HIDDEN FIGURES, THAT MOMENT IN HIDDEN
FIGURES WITH-- WHEN SHE HAS TO WALK LIKE 45 MINUTES TO A
DIFFERENT BATHROOM.
VERY MUCH LIKE THAT.
AND SO I FELT LIKE PEOPLE WEREN'T TALKING ENOUGH ABOUT
THIS CASE AND THIS IS IS THE FIRST TIME THE SUPREME COURT IS
HEARING A CASE ABOUT TRANSRIGHTS AND IF WE LOSE THIS, OUR RIGHTS
COULD BE SET BACK FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
AND LIKE I THINK WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW IS WHAT MY FRIEND
SAYS FROM THE ACLU IS THAT THESE ANTI-BATHROOM,
ANTI-TRANSBATHROOM BILLS ARE NOT REALLY ABOUT BATHROOMS.
THEY'RE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT TRANSPEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO
EXIST IN PUBLIC SPACE.
BECAUSE IF WE CAN'T USE PUBLIC BATHROOMS WE CAN'T GO TO
SCHOOLS.
WE CAN'T WORK.
WE CAN'T GO TO HEALTH-CARE FACILITIES.
SO IT'S REALLY ABOUT US HAVING A RIGHT TO EXIST IN PUBLIC SPACE
AND I EXIST AND I HAVE A RIGHT TO IN PUBLIC SPACE.
(APPLAUSE) >> CBS IS A PUBLIC SPACE.
>> SO EVERYONE, SO EVERYONE PLEASE STAND WITH GAVIN GRIM
SUPPORTING HIM.
HE IS GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT MARCH 28th AND WE HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO ELEVATE THE STORIES OF TRANSPEOPLE 2456789 IS WHY I
AM SO EXCITED EXCITED ABOUT MY N DOUBT THAT YOU SHOWED A CLIP OF
BECAUSE THAT IS A GREAT WAY TO BEGIN TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.
BECAUSE IT IS A NARRATIVE ABOUT TRANSPEOPLE THAT IS BEING
PERPETRATED THAT IS NOT REALLY WHO WE ARE.
>> YOUR CHARACTER IS ALSO TRANSWOMAN.
>> YES, SHE IS.
>> SHE'S AN ATTORNEY.
DOUBT PREMIERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 10 P.M. RIGHT HERE ON CBS.
>> Stephen: BEAT ME TO THE BUNCH PUNCH.
NOW YOUR CHARACTER WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAW IN ORANGE
IS THE NEW BLACK.
>> YOU THINK YOUR NEW CHARACTER WHACK IS YOUR NEW CAN
CHARACTER'S NAME.
>> COULD CAMERON WORTH GET SOPHIA OFF THE HOOK.
>> CAMERON IS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND I BELIEVE SHE COULD.
BECAUSE CAM CAMERON'S SUPERPOWER IS THAT SHE HAS THE CAPACITY TO
CONVEY DEEP EMPATHY TO A JURY AND JUDGE FOR THE CLIENTS THAT
SHE REPRESENTEDS.
SO I DO BELIEVE THAT SHE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE A JURY UNDERSTAND
WHY SOPHIA STOLE THOSE IDENTITIES AND THOSE CREDIT
CARDS TO FUND HER TRANSITION.
AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET HER OFF.
GET HER ACQUITTED.
>> Stephen: EITHER ONE, EITHER ONE DARLING, EITHER ONE.
IT WAS LOVELY TO MEET YOU, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> LOVELY TO MEET YOU AS WELL.
>> Stephen: DOUBT PREMIER THIS WEDNESDAY AT 10 P.M. ON CBS.
LAVERNE COX, EVERYBODY.
