For my final post for my LGBTQ+ Experiences in US history class, I decided to focus on a person. The person I chose in none other than the fabulous, Storm\u00e9 DeLarverie! I first became interested in the life of Storm\u00e9 DeLarverie during a documentary that we watched for class, Major! In that documentary, I learned about a trans women by the name of Major who worked their whole life to advocating for Trans equality and representation which the LGBTQ+ movement. But Major also mentioned the ever so dreamy, Storm\u00e9 DeLarverie. Storm\u00e9 was a self identified butch lesbian who scuffled with police during the ever famous Stonewall incident. Many often describe this moment in LGBTQ+ history as a\u201driot\u201d but according to Storm\u00e9, \u201c It was a rebellion, it was an uprising, it was a civil rights disobedience – it wasn\u2019t no damn riot!\u201d Storm\u00e9\u2019s father was white and her mother was an American American servant, working for her father’s family. Growing up in a time where mixed race children were shunned, Storm\u00e9 often found herself the victim of bullying and harassment. After discovering that she was gay at the age of 18, DeLarverie sought of life of liberation and self expression. From 1955-1969 Storm\u00e9 toured with the black theater circuit as the MC and ONLY drag king of the Jewel Box Revue; which was North America\u2019s first racially integrated drag revue. This would also be the location where Major and Storm\u00e9 would meet and become coworkers on the show. Storm\u00e9\u2019s strikingly handsome presence inspired countless other lesbians of the time to adopt what was formerly considered, \u201cmen\u2019s clothing.\u201d As an entertainer, fashion icon, and political activist, Storm\u00e9 was a force to be reckoned with. I deeply admire her for her perseverance and service to the LGBTQ+ movement, the deconstruction of gender stereotypes, and the representation of mixed race participation in the LGBTQ+ community. \u00a0<3 <\/span><\/p>\n
