LGBTQ !

Hello everyone,

 

                          LGBTQ is the more commonly used term in the community; possibly because it is more user friendly! You may also hear the term “Queer Community”  used to describe LGBTQ2+ people. This  term is always evolving all around the world. The most important thing is to be respectful and use the terms that people prefer.

                         

                                     A self-identified drag queen Marsha .P. Johnson was honored as a grand marshal of the New York City Pride March.

• Marsha P. Johnson was an activist, self-identified drag queen, performer, and survivor. She was a prominent figure in the Stonewall uprising of 1969. Marsha went by “Black Marsha” before settling on Marsha P. Johnson. The “P” stood for “Pay It No Mind,” which is what Marsha would say in response to questions about her gender.

• In 2019, New York City announced plans to erect statues of Johnson and Rivera in Greenwich Village, which will be one of the world’s first monuments in honor of transgender people.
