Icons of Stonewall- Storme, Marsha, and Sylvia: Effed Up History VI

As part two of the story of the Stonewall Riots of 1969, we will be discussing three of the icons of that night, a brief story of their life and struggles and contribution to the LGBTQIA+ movement.

Storme DeLarverie, Marsha P. Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera.  All were members of the LGBTQIA+ community.  All were gender nonconformists.  All were discriminated against by those within and outside of the community.  All lived tragic and beautiful lives. And all made a poignant impact on the history of gay rights in America and throughout the world.
