“This whitewashed, pinkwashed story of the Stonewall Riot cannot occur unchallenged. We must not stand by silently while our histories are being rewritten. “

- Andrea Jenkins, in an article discussing the need for us all to help spread the truth so the real history is not lost to Hollywood bullshit. 

“My dear friend, Reina Gossett, is doing just that. Her new film “Happy Birthday Marsha” tells the true story of that night and the subsequent events that led to what too many people mistakenly call the Gay Rights Movement. Trans women of color wrote and star in the film. Please support the film. It is not enough for the community to merely boycott (that’s an interesting word, very gender specific) the film Stonewall, which you can protest by signing this petition.”

-Andrea Jenkins
