stormé delarverie, often referred to as “the stonewall lesbian” and “the guardian of lesbians in the village”, was a biracial butch lesbian singer and drag king. her assault by the NYPD was a defining moment in the stonewall rebellion and riots. stormé is credited as the woman who threw the first punch and shouted to bystanders “why don’t you guys do something?” she fought against the police alongside other butch lesbians who were also involved in the uprising. please remember to include her in your pride celebrations. don’t let her be forgotten. excerpts and photographs from female impersonation by avery willard, 1971

“People think intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is ‘You’re safe with me’ - that’s intimacy.”

— Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
