The Forgotten Role of Sex Workers at Stonewall
Speculative editorial for TIME - “The Forgotten Role of Sex Workers at Stonewall”.
“Those fighting for the liberation of queer people today ... should know the radical origins of the LGBTQ(+) movement and the debt they owe to sex workers … Sex workers participated in nearly all of the iconic queer uprisings of the (Stonewall) era. Indeed, they helped create the conditions that made such uprisings possible … Yet the erasure of sex workers from Stonewall began almost immediately.” - Scott W. Stern
[The red umbrella is an important symbol for sex workers and their rights]
