Stonewall, an upcoming movie on the Stonewall Riots in New York, doesn’t have a single PoC as the lead.
I repeat… Stonewall, an upcoming movie on the Stonewall Riots in New York- a stance against police brutality, WHICH WAS LEAD BY TRANS WOMEN OF COLOUR- doesn’t have a single PoC as the lead.
Not to mention that Marsha P Johnson, THE trans woman who started it all, is a minor character who is being played by a cis man.
First the depoliticization of Pride, then the erasure of trans people, and now the white washing of queer history…amazing.

Where’s Sylvia Rivera?
Where’s Storme DeLarverie?
How dare they try to rewrite LGBT history to be about solely cis white gay men?
