Who? I actually know or knew when they were alive, bisexual and gay men and women all who are white, who were at the Stonewall demonstrations and four were semi-regular patrons of the bar. They never mentioned this drag queen turned T, and drag queens were not allowed into the Stonewall bar as it was,never a bar for drag queens or female impersonators, as there were other venues and bars for drag queens and female impersonators, and none of these people were trans.

It is interesting almost 50 years later he is revising history or inserting himself into it. Did the "author" of the "article" do any "fact checking"? Drag queens were not even there at the demonstration the first night.

From his wiki page:

New York Edit In a 2014 interview with the Bay Area Reporter, Griffin-Gracy said that after moving to New York City, she found the Stonewall Inn "provided us transwomen with a nice place for social connection" and that few gay bars otherwise allowed entry to trans women at the time.[6] She has said she was a regular patron of the Stonewall, and that she was there on the first night of the 1969 Stonewall rebellion.[6][4] Police raids were common for LGBT bars, and Griffin-Gracy has said, "This one night, though, everybody decided this time we weren't going to leave the bar. And shit just hit the fan."[6]
