Also celebrating Jenner's newfound freedom is ESPN. The sports network says they'll be presenting Jenner with the Arthur Ashe Courage award. ESPN recognizes that Jenner was once a great Olympian and now she is a hero to the LGBT community. They say she has "shown the courage to embrace a truth that had been hidden for years."

"Bruce [Jenner] has received many accolades over the years for being one of the greatest Olympians of our time, but The ESPYS are honored to celebrate Bruce becoming Caitlyn," ESPN producer Maura Mandt stated. "She has shown the courage to embrace a truth that had been hidden for years, and to embark on a journey that may not only give comfort to those facing similar circumstances, but can also help to educate people on the challenges that the transgender community faces."

Jenner has been celebrating the new freedoms of the Trans and gay community ever since coming out. Back on June 28, she was in New York City for the Gay Pride Parade and Pride Week.

This year was a special coming out party because the Supreme Court voted that gay marriage is now legal in the U.S. and the Stonewall Inn is now an official landmark in NYC.
