Marsha “P.” Johnson fought back against the police during the Stonewall Rebellion. The “P” stood for “Pay it no mind!” Marsha was photographed by Warhol and was part of the Hot Peaches Review.

She was a source of strength and pride to me and many, many others in the drag, transgender, and lesbian and gay communities.

Marsha was found floating in the Hudson River near the piers in New York City shortly after the 1992 Pride March. The police “investigation” reportedly consisted of two phone calls, and they ruled her death a suicide. A people’s postering campaign dug up reports that Marsha had been harassed near the piers earlier that evening.
