#SHAREOURHISTORY: Stormé DeLarverie
After Stonewall, Ms. DeLarverie became a member of the Stonewall Veterans Association and a regular at local Pride parades. Her influence lasted long after the riots and remained fiercely protective of the LGBT+ community: for decades she was a self-appointed guardian of local lesbians. Stormé would patrol around the local LGBT hot spots making sure her community was safe. She did this well into her 80s. Stormé passed away in 2014 at the age of 93.
