"The Stonewall Riots could only be started by someone who was tired and black. She applied the black tradition of rioting when unheard, adopted it, and gave it to the gay community. She threw the brick in the tradition of Plainfield and Newark in 1967, and Watts in 1965. In this very real, historical sense, the Gay Liberation movement is not only a movement about q***r gender, romance, and sexuality performances, identities, and practices, it is also an undeniably black movement."

By throwing the first brick, Marsha Johnson bonded the LGBTQ movement to the Long Hot Summer of 1967
