The next color of the #PrideFlag 🏳️🌈 is brown, which represents inclusivity. 🤎 Marsha P. Johnson (1945-1992) was an outspoken LGBTQ+ rights activist and advocate for transgender people of color like herself. Marsha found joy as a drag queen in New York City’s LGBTQ+ hub, Greenwich Village, and was a key figure in the 1969 Stonewall Riots. She worked with Sylvia Rivera to establish Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR); a group committed to helping transgender youth in New York City. In the 1980s, Johnson’s activism grew to include the AIDS epidemic as she joined Act Up, a prominent organization dedicated to the cause. Learn more about Marsha at https://lnkd.in/eU7x9ZzP

The last color of the #PrideFlag 🏳️🌈 is black, which represents diversity. 🖤 As we close out #PrideMonth, our final spotlight is Bayard Rustin (1912–1987), an American political activist and prominent leader in the Civil Rights and #LGBTQ+ Rights movements. In the 1980s, Bayard became a part of the LGBTQ+ movement and an advocate for AIDS education. Evident in the intersectionality of his work, he felt that injustices everywhere should never be tolerated and must be protested.

❤️ Red stands for Love & Life in the #PrideFlag. 🏳️🌈 We’re honoring Barbara Gittings (1932-2007), widely considered the mother of the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement. In 1958, Barbara started the New York chapter of Daughters of Bilitis (DOB), the first lesbian civil rights organization in the U.S. She also served as editor of the DOB’s publication, The Ladder, the first national lesbian magazine. Barbara and fellow organizer Frank Kameny waged a multi-year campaign for the declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder. In 1973, with Gitting and Kameny present by invitation, the American Psychiatric Association announced the removal of its classification. To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/e3uftg8P
