Hey! This Pride please don’t forget about Stormé DeLaverie a butch lesbian and drag king who was there at stonewall! Many witnesses said that her scuffle with the police was the defining moment that incited the riots, but regardless of whether or not she threw the first punch she’s an amazing woman and and should not be forgotten. She was also a woman of color and deserves just as much remembrance as Marsha P. Johnson and Slyvia Riveria and I so often see her left out. She passed away in 2014 at the age of 93 and was one of the earliest leaders of the gay rights movement! She was known as “the Rosa Parks of the gay community.” She also supported work for battered women and kids! Let’s all celebrate her!
Also she was known as the “guardian of the lesbians” and worked as a bouncer for gay and lesbian bars and legally carried a gun and was just badass in general I love her
