LGBTQIA HERSTORY CLUB: There are few folks in the world more badass than Sylvia Rivera. She was on the front lines at Stonewall and helped found the Gay Liberation Front, the Gay Activists Alliance, and Street Transgender Action Revolutionaries. Throughout her life, she fought for the most marginalized members of our community – including the homeless – which often put her at odds against the assimilationist agendas of mainstream groups like the HRC. Without Rivera, it is difficult to imagine events like Queerbomb or New York’s Drag March would exist. Learn it and learn it well.
