Nonbinary teen dies after physical altercation. Nex Benedict identified as non-binary and had previously been bullied.
A fundraising campaign to cover Nex Benedict's funeral costs has now far exceeded its $15,000 goal. What's left of the money will go "to other children who have the right to be how they feel, in the name of Nex Benedict," writes Sue Benedict in an update on the fundraising page for her son's funeral. The case gained attention after a fundraising campaign for Benedict's coffin was started and national US media also picked up the case.
