It is impossible to discuss LGBTQ history without centering transgender activists, particularly trans women of color. From the Stonewall Riots in 1969 to the Compton's Cafeteria riot in 1966, transgender individuals like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were on the front lines fighting against police brutality and for equality.
As we move forward, LGBTQ culture is becoming more intentionally trans-inclusive. Recognizing that transgender rights are human rights is not just a slogan; it is the foundation of a modern, empathetic queer community.
