Stormé Delarverie (December 24, 1920 - May 24, 2014)



"It was a rebellion, it was an uprising, it was a civil rights disobedience -- it wasn't no damn riot."

- Stormé Delarverie



From the Bronx LGBTQ Center I learned of the passing of Stormé Delarverie, who was an icon of LGBT civil rights, a key participant in the Stonewall rebellion (by many accounts, Stormé threw one of the early punches at a police officer who was beating up a young man) and by

Quotes by Cory Silverberg  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Words are important. Like all words, the words we use to describe ourselves and our relationships can be used by others in ways that help us and in ways that hurt us.

It helps when we get to choose what we call ourselves and our relationships.

It helps when we get to choose who we want to have relationships with.

And it helps when every relationship we have includes trust, respect, joy and justice.”
Cory Silverberg, Sex Is a Funny Word: A Book about Bodies, Feelings, and YOU

“Has anyone ever told you that you can't judge a book by its cover?

It means you can't tell what's inside a book if all you know is what it looks like on the outside.

Bodies are kind of like books.

Each of us has an outside, like the cover of a book, which other people can see.

And each of us has an inside, like the inside of a book, filled with stories that only you can see and feel.”
