Josh Hutcherson Honors Zachary Kerr for the TeenNick Halo Awards 2013!

Josh Hutcherson gives the spotlight to Zachary Kerr in this new shot in anticipation of the upcoming 2013 TeenNick Halo Awards.

Growing up as one of three identical triplets, Zachary, 19, spent years battling gender identity issues before making a transitional journey from female to male.

After facing tough challenges, he became a positive advocate for the transgender community, facilitating educational programs through Greater Boston PFLAG and paving the way for more acceptance and equal treatment for others like him at both state and national levels.

Celebrating real-life teens who are ‘Helping and Leading Others’, the TeenNick HALO Awards will broadcast live from the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, on Sunday, November 17th @ 8PM ET/PT On Nick at Nite.
