“Harper’s Magazine is not only ‘comfortable’ with ‘the decision’ to reinvent Stormé as a ‘he,’ they’re comfortable with any distress it causes the lesbian community that surrounded Stormé while she was alive… The very people she spent her life protecting.”
On June 28, 1969, a cop hit Stormé DeLarverie on the head with a billy club. She was bleeding from that wound when she threw the first punch, at Stonewall—“The cop hit me, and I hit him back.”
She started a Revolution.
“Let’s set the record straight (no pun intended): a lesbian was responsible for starting the Stonewall riot.”
