On this first morning of #PrideMonth it may be especially relevant to remember riots are what got us here and even more relevant that it was on the backs of transwomen and people of color. pictured below Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera (and not the riot)
All Queers and allies should know Christopher Street Liberation Day, aka Stonewall Riots, aka Stonewall Uprising. #Smash #PrideMonth
All queers and allies should know Marsh P Johnson. She threw the first brick. literally. #BlackLivesMatter #TransLivesMatter #PrideMonth
Meanwhile outside the Stonewall: Stormé pointed out that she was cuffed too tightly, a officer hit her head w/ a billy club. She turned to the crowd & yelled, “Why don’t you guys do something?”...the seeds of rebellion were sown. The Stonewall uprising kicked off #butchdykelove
Actually, more on this... we dont know if a brick was actually thrown...we do know that windows were broken. This, albeit inaccurate, piece of queer imagery is of severe symbolic importance to queer life and anti-oppression. nytimes.com/2019/05/31/us/…
