I Don't Throw the First Molotov Cocktail at Stonewall

Sylvia Rivera, a trans woman who's extremely important in the gay liberation front and all of the activism that happens in the years after Stonewall. She says she didn't throw the first Molotov cocktail but I threw the second one. So this sort of becomes part of the narrative that this woman who is her mother committed suicide when she was four. And David Carter who wrote the book called Stonewall in 2004 says that nobody reports seeing her at the Stonewall riots. Marsha P. Johnson, who we will get to in a second, says that she was asleep during the early parts of the riots and that she wasn't there that night.
