Today is the 70th birthday of the activist Sylvia Rivera. Every single person waving a rainbow flag last month owes her a debt of gratitude. It is because of her relentless fight to be seen and heard that we have the freedoms and privileges that we have. Her bravery created your comfort. The world is a better place because she was in it and still feels the loss that she has left.
