Some members of the LGBTQIA+ community are more well-known than others. One proponent of equal rights in the movement was Marsha P. Johnson. This week, Theresa shares how Marsha was assigned male at birth and later moved to New York, where she could live into her full identity. There she was, present at the Stonewall Uprising, established a program to help homeless street youth, and tirelessly worked to make life better.

Angie shifts gears by sharing the unhinged life of a man who’d sleep with nearly anyone, Lord Byron. This retelling of his life includes the four things he did right, along with the myriad of things he did not get right.

This story pairs well with:

Stonewall Uprising

Mary Shelley
