In this thread we'll be discussing Chapter 6: In the Spirit of Stonewall

CWs for this chapter: Mentions of transphobia, physical assault, and SA.

This chapter covers a speech given by Feinberg at a conference of regional Pride Committees at a hotel in Central New Jersey. The speech focuses on the topic of queer solidarity and solidarity of the queer community with other marginalized groups.

There are two Portrait sections included in this chapter:

The first is by Sylvia Rivera (pictured in the thumbnail), where she talks about her experience at Stonewall and her history of activism, including the founding of STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries), becoming a member of the Young Lords, and meeting Huey Newton.

The second is by Craig Hickman, where he describes his life and experiences as a black drag queen as well as views on gender.

I'll ping whoever has been participating so far, but please let me know if you'd like to be added (or removed).

Feel free to let me know if you have any feedback also. Thanks!
