This month we celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month. Although Pride events occur year-round across the world, this timing honors the 1969 Stonewall uprising in Manhattan, a pivotal moment in the gay liberation movement in the United States. This month often features marches and events that embrace and celebrate diversity and progress, protest harassment of as well as violence and/or discrimination toward LGBTQ+ people, and commemorate those lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. We also recognize the impact that Black LGBTQ+ individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally, including Marsha P. Johnson, who was a prominent figure in the Stonewall uprising. This article highlights the achievements of Johnson and 15 additional queer Black trailblazers in civil rights, politics, art, medicine and other fields from the early 1900s to the present day.
