La Silhouette

“It was a rebellion, it was an uprising, it was a civil rights disobedience—it wasn’t no damn riot.”
– Stormé DeLarverie

A drag queen takes you by the hand to tell you secrets in her dressing room. A punk shares her bent cigarette and a track from her tape deck. A police man collects his bribe and a room full of people are brought to their knees. This is the shape of queer history.
