Last year I tried making a sign for Trans Pride and managed to mess it up. It was double sided with the trans flag on one side and non-binary flag on the other. When I write on the trans side, the non-binary flag was then upside down on the back... This year I fixed it !!

#TodayInQueerHistory June 24 (1973) New York City hosts the Christopher Street Libertation Day rally. Sylvia Rivera, who helped many in the community, was excluded from speaking by 'white middle class gays.' She takes the mic anyway, and delivers her blistering "Y'all Better Quiet Down" speech.
