Laverne Cox landed on the cover of Entertainment Weekly's June issue, which is the first LGBT-focused edition in 15 years. Inside, Laverne discusses being the public face for transgender rights, asking, "I just wonder, am I allowed to be a human being?" This isn't the first time Laverne has gotten real about her status as a transgender icon. In the wake of Caitlyn Jenner's debut on Vanity Fair, Laverne posted a thoughtfully written piece on her Tumblr, in which she urged the public to look past Caitlyn's beauty and think about the bigger picture. In EW, she follows the same thread: "My beauty is not about how I look. My beauty is about my heart and soul." Prepare for the full candid interview in the special LGBT issue of EW, which hits stands on June 12.
