#yall remember marsha p johnson?

[sixofreaders]

since this is pride month, i want yall to remember marsha p. johnson. a big reason why we can even celebrate pride at all is bc black trans women fought for our rights. if yall wanna stan your favourite artists for doing the bare minimum and supporting lgbt rights, if yall wanna scream about your faves wearing tiny pins and patches, then at least remember her. remember marsha p. johnson. black lives mattered then, they matter now, and they will always matter.

idk it’s just funny bc i see u cis allies rb pride posts about how its gay pride and how its gay month and that this is the Gays Time To Shine and thats fine but when one of yall say “ok hang on...lets hear it for marsha p johnson” suddenly everyone is patting themselves on the back for remembering a black trans woman for a minute and then it’s back to Gay Hours
