Marsha P. Johnson - A Towering Figure in the Gay Rights Movement

Marsha P. Johnson is now getting a much deserved rediscovery as an important figure in the early gay rights movement. She was 23 at the time, which I just marvel at how young all these kids were. There isn't really any evidence that she threw the first brick. But it feels like something where if we create an narrative where you had to be literally there to be one of the mothers or the fathers or the what have views of gay liberation, then you had to beenliterally at that spot. If you weren't, then you're not part of that.
