Don’t know what to do
A lot of the gay elders i know are tired of history being changed when they were actually there. Unfortunately the biggest myth is that [Marsha P. Johnson] started the stonewall riot and kicked off the lgbt movement.
But in fact she wasn’t even there when it started. She also referred to herself as a drag queen/transvestite... not trangender. Sylvia Rivera is the one who is trans not mpj.
If anything it was likely a big butch lesbian who started it.
There wasnt even a brick that started the riots. A lot was happening at once, but it most like started when cops began harassing Butch Lesbian Stormè DeLarverie and someone, no one is sure who, stepped in to her defense. Violence broke out and next thing we know, we have the stonewall riots. Maybe bricks were thrown with Molotovs, but no one can be credited with doing anything first except maybe DeLarverie asking for help.
Tread loud and proud and carry a big brick!
this is amazing
Is this why my wife's purse always feels like there's a cinder block in it?
