“Marsha P. Johnson blazed through the streets of 1960s and 1970s New York as a luminary of the gay rights movement, her smile as much a weapon as her wit. She championed homeless LGBTQI youth, fought for those ravaged by HIV and AIDS, and demanded dignity for transgender people in the U.S…” Women’s History Month at AF presents Marsha P. Johnson, born in New Jersey and a fighter for liberation in the LGBTQI community

I was going to write about that in that piece, but it was getting a bit long. I didn’t know she was from New Jersey!

I didn’t know she was from NJ either. There are a lot of cool women from this state. They all left because it’s so sexist 
I also didn’t know she was from New Jersey. Our state is the birthplace of many great people, now we have to get them to stay!
