I meet the coolest people!

  1. Last night, I went to a talk on the history of drag that my friend was giving. These two older guys showed up, and at the end of the talk, they started to talk about their own experiences. One of them was a drag queen back in the day when police would just randomly raid bars and arrest people for such a thing. He was actually in the Stonewall Riots! He told us all about them. They told us about how they had been raided and arrested in their own home for being gay. How their home had been shot at as recently as three years ago. How they are fighting for our right to marry in our state. How they are working with a local charity to set up a safe house for homeless LGBT youth. It was amazing to meet them and hear all their stories. I just wanted to share, because they were just so inspirational to me.
