🏳️‍⚧️ Who really sparked the Stonewall Riots? In this unfiltered episode of HOT AIR – HOT FLASH, host Joshua Robert dives deep into the true stories of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera—two legendary transgender activists, queer revolutionaries, and trailblazers of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

Often erased from mainstream history, Marsha and Sylvia were trans women of color, sex workers, and fierce advocates who risked everything for freedom, visibility, and justice. From founding STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) to caring for unhoused LGBTQ+ youth, their impact goes far beyond Stonewall.

In this episode, we unpack:

🔥 The real, untold history of Pride and the Stonewall Riots
✊ The pain and power behind the uprising that changed queer history forever
💪 How Marsha and Sylvia were both celebrated and sidelined during their lifetimes
🌈 Why honoring their legacy is crucial to understanding the ongoing fight for trans rights and LGBTQ+ equality

If you want to know the true heroes of the queer liberation movement and learn about the foundations of Pride beyond the surface, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now to celebrate Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and the revolutionary spirit that still fuels the fight for justice today.
