Hey Cruel Coven! Marsha P. Johnson was such an incredible force. She was an advocate, a leader, and a visionary of the LGBTQ+ community who stoped at nothing to be treated equally. Today, Tori will be telling you about her life from the very beginning....when she was born Malcolm Michaels in New Jersey and assigned male at birth....all the way to becoming a self-professed drag queen, being photographed by Andy Warhol, protesting at the Stonewall Uprising, and tragically, about her unfortunate death in 1992. *Yeah, that was a big-time run-on sentence. Sorry about it. Marsha is worth it.  K! Love youuuu, bye! <3  Sources: Stonewall.Org Wikipedia (1) Youtube (1) History.com (1) History.com (2) Wikipedia (2) ACT UP Wikipedia (3) Youtube (2) Youtube (3) NY Times Netflix Documentary NY Gov Photos Diversity INC.
