robertdowneys: hoezierswitch: robertdowneys: THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON (2017) History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable. It happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities. — Marsha P. Johnson Queens started being filed out and being put into police cars, and guns had been drawn. Molotov cocktails were flying. And I’m like, “Oh my God, the revolution is here. Thank God. You’ve been treating us like shit all these years? Uh uh. Now it’s our turn.” — Sylvia Rivera THE FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOTHAPPY PRIDE | BLACK LIVES MATTER in case any of you want to learn more about marsha and her fight for lgbt rights and end up coming across THIS documentary about her that’s available on netflix: PLEASE DO NOT WATCH IT. all the archival footage and material on it was STOLEN FROM TOURMALINE BY DAVID FRANCE A WHITE CIS MAN. if u still want to learn about marsha or show support to tourmaline, I encourage you to watch tourmaline’ and sasha wortzel’ short film “happy birthday, marsha!” instead. oh WOW i did not know that. here’s the link to happy birthday, marsha’s website, it’s streaming on prime & available for rent & purchase on vimeo but if anyone can find another link please add it!!! take some time to watch, it’s only 15 min! -- source link
