Marsha P. Johnson

“As long as gay people don't have their rights all across America, there's no reason for celebration.”

“I started out with makeup in 1963, 1964. And in 1965, I was coming out more, and I was still wearing makeup, but I was still going to jail just for wearing makeup.”

“I don't know what I am if I'm not a woman.”

“I'm still stuck in the Stonewall in 1968. I never left the Stonewall.”

“History isn't something you look back at and say it was inevitable, it happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities.”

“You never completely have your rights, one person, until you all have your rights.”

“Darling, I want my gay rights now.”

“I'd been going to jail for like, 10 years before the Stonewall.”
