#sylviarivera — Public Fediverse posts

Bayard Rustin organized the 1963 March on Washington from the shadows a homophobic era forced him into. Ran the whole thing. Stood offstage.

Sylvia Rivera fought to keep the "T" from being cut out of the movement — the exact sorting we watched again today. The thread doesn't break.

Who wrote you into the record before you could?

History / Hemphill + Rivera
Essex Hemphill wrote in the teeth of a plague, when the men in pulpits called the dying deserved. Thirty-four years later a pastor recycles the same machinery. We kept reaching for each other anyway. The fear was theirs. The tenderness was ours.

"I left home at ten because I was effeminate. The street was my home." — Sylvia Rivera. She had nothing and made a movement out of refusing to disappear. Witness is not a soft act. It's keeping your eyes open when closing them costs less.

Zohran Mamdani, LGBTQ+ ally, wins New York City mayoral election and makes history

Trump erased trans & queer history from Stonewall. Lawmakers are fighting to get it back

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/news/stonewall-transgender-erasure-democrats-outraged

The video starts with a trans person, Erin, talking about Zohran Mamdani's new political ad for Mayor of New York.

It throws to the ad, which shows Mamdani sitting at a desk in a park, wearing a neat suit. While he's talking a number of old pictures of New York from the 70s and 80s show, along with photos of Sylvia Rivera.

It cuts back to Erin talking about the ad again.

@ErinInTheMorn
"On this day, June 24, in 1973, Sylvia Rivera—a founding mother of the queer and trans liberation movement—took to the stage for the fourth annual Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally, as it was called back then. Now, we know it as Pride.

"Despite the the parade supposedly honoring the movement she helped ignite, Rivera had to climb up onto the stage at Washington Square Park in New York City and take the mic by force. As she looked out onto the crowd of people gathering to honor the Stonewall Uprisings, just four years prior, members of the crowd erupted in hisses and boos."
