Our community is outraged by the newly-released trailer for the movie Stonewall, and for good reason. Taking creative license is one thing, but completely eliminating our foremothers is too far. A movie about Stonewall must at least hit on the basic premise — that Stonewall was a rebellion started in large part by transgender women of color. For more information regarding this and how to work against it, read our official statement [with a August 7 update].
