FUCK YEAH, QUEER VINTAGE
Marsha P Johnson and why she rules She was an American transgender rights activist, Queen of Stonewall and Transgender Revolutionary. She was a co-founder, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.) in the early 1970s and became the “mother” of S.T.A.R. House along with Sylvia Rivera, getting together food and clothing to help support the young trans women living in the house on the lower East Side of New York.
Marcia P. Johnson. Another very influential person for transgender people everywhere and very powerful in the POC spectrum. She started S.T.A.R along with Sylvia Rivera. She has stated that the “P” in her name stand for “Pay it no mind.” Which I think is something that we can all relate to and use n our daily lives.
Stonewall riots were spontaneous, violent demonstrations led by two trans-women of color Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, located in Greenwich Village, New York City. Celebrating how hard people fought and how strong they stood and how unwaveringly they spoke - for all of us - is worth celebrating.
