what is it about our roots? Don't get it...
The Stonewall Riot. If I remember correctly, a trans woman is said to have thrown the first stone at a police car/policemen.
Kinda sorta. Marsha P. Johnson was a part of the queer vanguard at Stonewall, and dropped a brick on a police car (on the second night of rioting), but may not have started it.
