12: Marsha P. Johnson – The Activist Whose Death Sparked Questions

Happy Pride Everyone!!! We hope that you all feel loved and proud all month and all year long. For the second case of our Pride Month special, Brooke and Emilio cover the life and mysterious death of Marsha P. Johnson (she said the P stood for "pay it no mind", and we absolutely stan that). We cover a little bit of old New York history, the history of the gay rights movement, and an essential WOMAN (because transwomen are women) who helped elevate the lives of queers everywhere. We hope this case reminds you just how important it is to be yourself and allow everyone around you to do the same!Read the transcript from Sylvia's 1973 speech here!
