- Summary:
- Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for us to celebrate Pride today. As a Black trans woman from a conservative background, Marsha fled to New York City to find liberation. There, she discovered a community that embraced her. Marsha fearlessly fought for the rights of queer people during a time when trans women encountered repression, arrests, and, tragically, even death. Despite the police ruling her passing as a suicide, the community vehemently rejected this verdict, firmly believing that Marsha would never have taken her own life. During this Pride celebration, actress and activist Bri Giger celebrates and honors her favorite trailblazer.
