In this quiet scene from a #Pride weekend, three women join hands, together in the movement to ensure equal protection for the transgender community.
Sylvia Rivera sits between her partner Julia Murray (right) and activist Christina Hayworth, in a @smithsoniannpg photo by Luis Carle at the Saturday Rally before New York’s Gay Pride Parade in 2000.
Rivera was at the Stonewall riots of 1969, the turning point of the modern LGBTQ struggle for equal rights, when patrons of the Stonewall Inn violently rebuffed a police raid.
But she faced racism and discrimination as a transgender Latina by the mostly white cisgender male leadership of the Gay Activist Alliance that she campaigned with.
Rivera—who had been cast out by family as a teenager—began to work with homeless teens in New York City. She co-founded the militant group and shelter Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) with her friend Marsha P. Johnson, an African American transgender woman. #SmithsonianPride #BecauseOfHerStory 📸: © Luis Carle

@panzer_princess I think it’s a matter of principle. I agree with you that gay people shouldn’t be treated as second class citizens ever. At the moment, by appealing to these issues they’re winning a far greater amount of customers than they’re having leave them, therefore maximising profits. When the tides turn against gay people, as I predict they will unfortunately due to forces such as Islam; these same companies will promote those ideologies instead in order to appeal to the maximum amount of people to maximise profits. Capitalism and corporatism are the enemies of everything we hold dear.

@heritage.europe I'd be very surprised if they ever became openly anti-lgbt. There may be ideologies in the world which discriminate, but most people in the western world seem to realize it's not ok to discriminate, based on ideology or otherwise. We aren't just going to turn around and say "ok it's not ok to be gay anymore"

@heritage.europe I'd rather a company be open and talking about Pride and supporting their staff and customers and making money than not saying anything in a world where plenty of people still treat them like second class citizens or worse....

This comes at an appropriate time @smithsonian because netflix just released tales of the city and it has a very similar character and follows the history of the this human rights issue in san fransisco

Companies are only using ‘pride month’ as a pawn to drive profits. They only became outspoken about this when it was legalised. I can’t believe people are falling for it.
