Marsha P. Johnson, a Black transgender activist, was at the forefront of the Stonewall uprising in 1969, the start of the fight for LGBTQ rights. Her middle initial comes from the phrase, "Pay it no mind," which was her go-to response about gender.#LGBTQHistory #Stonewall

The LGBTQ community had a monumental impact in shaping the influence of the #HarlemRenaissance. Grimké's 'Rachel' defied norms with a lesbian character, a milestone in American theater. Hamilton Lodge & Clam House offered safety to black queers, fostering visibility & acceptance.

🏳️‍⚧️ Dr. Alan L. Hart, a pioneering physician, was assigned female at birth in 1890. He underwent one of the 1st female-to-male surgeries in 1917. As a successful radiologist and TB researcher, his work shaped the medical world. Dr. Hart's story is vital to #transgenderrights. 🌈✨

As educators, we are responsible for creating safe, welcoming & inclusive spaces for all our students. The attack on an LGBTQ+ safe space in Colorado Springs is a painful reminder that we must proactively stand together against hateful rhetoric & violence.
