Stormé DeLarverie, LGBTQ activist & legendary Stonewall drag king, dies at 93 May 28, 2014

Gay rights activist Stormé DeLarverie, who fought police during the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, has died. The 93-year-old passed away in her sleep on Saturday morning in the Brooklyn nursing home where she lived.

The Bronx LGBTQ Community Services Center released a statement that reads, in part:

The Bronx LGBTQ Center is deeply saddened by the loss of a pioneer of the modern-day LGBTQ civil rights movement, Stormé Delarverie. Often referred to as the “Rosa Parks” as the gay rights movement, Stormé was a fierce woman who stood up for our community on countless occasions. She passed away peacefully in her sleep on the morning of Saturday, May 24, 2014.

DeLarverie was born in New Orleans in 1920. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, she performed as the only drag king in the Jewel Box Revue, America’s first racially integrated female impersonation show. She was the subject of the short film Stormé: The Lady of the Jewel Box, released in 1987.

One month before her death, on April 24, 2014, DeLarverie was honored alongside Edie Windsor by the Brooklyn Community Pride Center for her bravery, love, and fearlessness within the LGBT community.

Rest in peace, Stormé. And thanks for everything!

Please spread this around and help us out by donating to the Virgil kickstarter. I think it’s worth funding, but — I drew it, so of course I’d think that.

Hey babes, it’d be pretty it if you could take a look at this. Not only is it a gorgeous indie comic that my friend is drawing but it’s about a queer PoC. From what I’ve heard about it from JD, the artist, it sounds pretty excellent and I’m really excited to get to read it. Check it out!

Thanks for the reblog, Dani!

Posting again today because it’s been a REALLY good day for the kickstarter — we’ve made 600 bucks since the screencap up there, which is super exciting after the slow time we’ve had lately.

That annoying thing when you start talking to this really cute guy online, and it's going well, and he seems great. And then he says he doesn't 'believe' in Pride events, gays having the right to 'mince around' meaning anything and that what do human rights abuses in Russia matter "That's Russia, that's not here".

Sigh.

Honestly, I am beginning to wonder if there are any nice guys in the world at all.

I couldn’t agree with her more.

I took an LGBT Studies course in my freshman year of college, and it opened my eyes up to a whole slew of history I didn’t know about. That kickstarted my passion for being as educated as possible toward my community.

So stop with all the popstar vs popstar, tabloid queen, bad girls club bullshit. Learn your history, rehearse it well, get passionate, and keep pushing and fighting for change.

Sotchi Winter Olympics 2014

Honestly dunno where I stand on the subject of boycotting the Olympics in the massively homophobic Russia. Part of me can see the point of not boycotting: of letting gay athletes go out there and prove a point, and through representation show that we are just like everyone else and worthy of love and respect. The other part of me thinks that boycotting the event is the only thing that will affect the regime of Russia in any meaningful way and do any good. After all, the last time scapegoating of this scale was going on was Germany in the 1930s...we had the Olympics there too, and it did nothing to change the horrors that came afterwards.  What I do know is that we cannot ignore the vile abuse of human rights going on in Russia at the moment. We need to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Russia who are living through hell. I certainly agree with boycotting products that come out of Russia, in the hopes that we can inconvenience Russia into changing it's mind. Whether that should extent to the Olympics or not, I'm unsure...I'm leaning towards yes to be honest.
