Stormé DeLarverie was born in 1920 in New Orleans to a white father and a Black mother. She was never certain of her date of birth but celebrated her birthday on December 24th. Growing up in the South, she was harassed throughout her childhood for her masculine appearance and for being mixed race. The bullying got so bad, she was sent to a school outside of her neighborhood to study. In her teens she rode horses for the Ringling Brother’s Circus before moving to New York City and joining the legendary troupe of drag performers “The Jewel Box Revue” in the 1950s. DeLarverie was the only female performer and dressed in male clothing as a “male impersonator” - today we would call them drag kings - amongst the 25 other male performers dressing as female impersonators, or drag queens. The group of performers was very racially diverse and drew an equally diverse crowd - rare for America during segregation. The troupe toured the country and regularly put on shows at the Apollo.


DeLarverie realized at age 18 she was a le***an. She began wearing men’s clothing around New York City and developed a reputation as a tough butch who wouldn’t be messed with but also as a fierce protector of the LGBTQ community in Manhattan where she lived in the Chelsea Hotel and worked in several gay bars as a security guard. She often called younger members of the community her children. 


On June 29, 1969, DeLarverie was at the Stonewall Inn when it was raided by police. She was dragged out in handcuffs, escaping several times only to be dragged out again under threat of violence. During one of these arrest attempts, a police office struck DeLarverie in the head with a club prompting her to punch him back. She then turned to the crowd of mostly street queens and LGBTQ people of color and shouted “Why don't you guys do something?” The crowd responded overwhelmingly by fighting back against the police brutality and starting the famed Stonewall Uprising.

Sylvia Rivera was born in 1951 in New York City to a Puerto Rican mother and a Venezuelan father. She was assigned male at birth and was forced to leave her home at a young age when her family did not approve of her fluid gender identity and femme gender expression. Throughout her life as an LGBTQ activist, she particularly sought to be a voice for q***r people the larger movement often overlooked -people of color, impoverished people, and trans/GNC people.

The Stonewall uprising was as a catalyst for Rivera’s activism. She claimed to have been at the event, though her account is somewhat disputed by historians. Together with her close friend, Marsha P. Johnson, she founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) aimed at supporting homeless trans youth. Rivera and Johnson were banned from participating in the 1973 Christopher Street Parade - the early version of the Pride Parade - by organizers claiming the women were trying to make them look bad. Refusing to be silenced, Rivera stormed the stage and reminded the crowd that trans women of color were often on the front lines of the fight for LGBTQ rights. “You go to bars because of what drag queens did for you and these bitches tell us to quit being ourselves!"

Through her later life, Rivera struggled with her mental health and homelessness but kept up her activism. In 2000, she attended WorldPride Italy where she was hailed as “the mother of all gay people.” She continued to lead STAR in the fight for transgender rights until her death on February 19 2002.

Rivera’s storied legacy has carried on after her death. Several buildings, streets, and parks throughout the world bear her name, and she has been immortalized and commemorated in television shows, documentaries, musicals, and other media. In 2019, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, a monument dedicated to Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson was constructed in Greenwich Village where the gay liberation movement, and Rivera’s activism, began.

Marsha P Johnson was born on August 24, 1945. Assigned male at birth, she moved to New York City in 1963 and was able to live her life as a trans woman. Marsha was a tireless advocate for gay rights throughout her life - she was a founding member of the Gay Liberation Front, the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R), and an AIDS activist with ACT UP. She was also one of the most prominent figures of the Stonewall Uprising in 1969, and is sometimes noted as the one to start the pushback against the police, though Johnson denied this claim. Despite her position at the forefront of the movement, Marsha and her close friend, Sylvia Rivera, were banned from participating in the gay pride parade in 1973 that commemorated the Stonewall uprising. The gay and le***an committee running the event didn’t want to allow “drag queens" at their marches claiming they were "giving them a bad name.” Marsha and Sylvia marched ahead of the parade anyway.

In 1992 when a Stonewall memorial was erected on Christopher Street, Johnson reportedly stated: "How many people have died for these two little statues to be put in the park to recognize gay people? How many years does it take for people to see that we're all brothers and sisters and human beings in the human race? I mean how many years does it take for people to see that we're all in this rat race together?” Later that year, Johnson’s body was found in the Hudson River. Her death was initially ruled a su***de, though friends and members of the community noted she was not suicidal and insisted a wound on her head pointed to homicide. In 2012, activists succeeded in having the NYPD reopen the case, and her cause of death was reclassified as “undetermined.”

In 2019, 50 years after the Stonewall uprising, Johnson was named one of the inaugural 50 American heroes of the LGBTQ movement and inducted in to the National LGBTQ Wall of Honor inside the Stonewall Bar. Monuments for her and Sylvia Rivera were erected in Greenwich Village, her old neighborhood where the gay liberation movement began.
