This picture is from an event the Gay Activist Alliance (GAA) hosted to protest the prohibition by the school of two dances for LGBTQ+ folk. On the left is Marsha P. Johnson, handing out flyers in support of queer students at NYU. She and Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) focused specifically on trans students because they knew the GAA wouldn’t. This picture is especially powerful to me because it recognizes and legitimizes the place trans women played in the gay rights movement. (STAR First Pamphlet, 1970)
