Description

In 1969, the Stonewall Riots rocked New York City’s Stonewall Inn. Fed up of routine arrests, in which “being homosexual and transsexual in public” was a crime, the patrons of Stonewall Inn fought back against being jailed by police. Squad car tires were slashed; officers were smacked with purses; makeshift Molotov cocktails were thrown. Trans queens Marsha “Pay It No Mind” Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were among those who participated in the uprising. Stonewall 1969 reminds us that the first Pride was a riot against police brutality, started by the most marginalized in the trans & queer community. This piece honors Marsha, Sylvia, and many more as ancestors as we struggle, laugh, and create toward revolution.
