- S.T.A.R. tracks the modern transgender rights movement via the activism of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, participants in the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
We thank “LoveTapesCollective” for letting use their footage, more can be found on their Vimeo account vimeo.com/user....
The clip of Sylvia giving her speech at the rally makes me tear up every time I see it.
100%
I don’t understand why people always use the edited clip of Sylvia’s powerful speech. In the original she specifically mentions being raped and talks about the sexual abuse queer prisoners faced, but people always edit that out like it’s something too taboo to talk about
THANK YOU. I hated how they did that, too.
Tell EVERY part. It's a part of the history, and people shouldn't shy away from the hard stuff.
That speech is still relevant , after all this time . Never try to " tone down " what Sylvia insisted she had a right to say . She fought for the community that tried to exclude her . Marsha paid an even higher price .
If it's not too taboo to have been done in the first place, it's not too taboo to talk about.
I love these videos so much! Every time I find a new picture or video of trans people from history, I tear up a bit. Thank you for telling our stories.

Why is it we never here of the work she did to protect trans young people from medical professionals wanting to put them on hormones and to perform surgeries on them? Trans women in the gay community where not demanding surgery or access to hormones and certainly not [puberty blockers. This is what parents and doctors and johns wanted for them.
Is that Alexandra Billings narrating??
yes
Malcolm “Marsha” was not “trans” He says in an interview he is just a gay man who likes to dress in womens clothing. The video is here on YT. It does a disservice to his legacy to act like he wanted to transition etc or was “trans” when he wasn’t. He was a proud effeminate gay dude who liked womens clothes and used them to try to get downlow men.
If you’ve never seen the interview of Silvia at the homeless encampment you should watch it. High on drugs. Living in squalor. Silvia warned of the new movement of pride being all about money and corporations and even mentioned that the gay movement would be taken over by straight people. Now a straight person can put on a they/them pronoun pin and claim queer oppression? Doubt Sylvia would be okay with that! It’s a mockery of actual homosexual oppression!
The people who were actually there and started the gay liberation movement hate the word “queer” and never used it to describe themselves.
As a gay person, I am disgusted every time someone uses this homophobic slur to describe us. “Queer”’is a word that was shouted at gay people when gay people were beaten, raped and murdered. So stop using it. You are stamping on gay people.
And it is totally inaccurate. Like I said, no one back then called themselves queer. They still don’t because they know how horrific that word actually is.
Kind of a bad take.
U seem more worked up about some people reclaiming a slur than any kind of historical accuracy of our communities and the complicated ways we define ourselves in the face of abuse and insults... I'm queer and you're misleading and misled :/
Actually queer was made by gay men before the word gay. It became negative over time cause thats what ppl called it b4 gay
Speak for yourself. My mother is a 63 year old lesbian, she loves the word queer to describe herself. You can’t take away a word from people that find liberation within it, just because you don’t. All you can say is that you don’t want to be referred to by it.
marsha was not at stonewall. lol.. learn your herstory.
Yes she was - you mean Sylvia probably.
She was lolll
