Just as we did for our first two seasons, we’re taking a deep dive into my decades-old audio archive to bring you the voices of LGBTQ history. For the start of this new season, we’re bringing you the second part of a conversation that host Eric Marcus had with Sylvia Rivera back in 1989.

Sylvia Rivera would have loved knowing that in the years since her death in 2002 she’s become an icon—a symbol of LGBTQ people fighting back against police repression and fighting for respect and equal rights. But she’d also want you to know that she was a human being, born in the Bronx in 1951. Eleven years later the self-described effeminate child found himself homeless and hustling on 42nd Street to scratch out enough money to get by. Sylvia was all of seventeen when she crossed paths with history at the Stonewall Inn on the night of June 28, 1969. She died at 51, having struggled with addiction and homelessness for much of her life, even as she continued to fight for trans rights and LGBTQ equality.

October is #LGBTHistorymonth, and all month @1010WINS AM in #NYC is bringing the voices of LGBT champions from our podcast on air. Morty Manford was a gay rights activist in New York in the 1960s and ‘70s. When he was beaten up by anti-gay bigots as police officers looked on in 1972, his mother decided to speak up. That June, Jeanne Manford marched in the gay pride parade alongside her son, holding a sign that said “Parents of gays: unite in support of our children”. That something they started was #PFlag, originally known as Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. @PFlagnational is now a national organization with more than 200 thousand members and supporters and 400 chapters nationwide. The Manfords have a street corner named after them in Flushing, and a post office in Jackson Heights has been named after Jeanne and her husband Jules. Morty Manford died of complications of AIDS in 1992, aged 41. Jeanne Manford died in 2013, aged 92.
