The modern LGBTQ+ rights movement didn’t start in boardrooms; it started in the streets, led largely by transgender women of color. Figures like and Sylvia Rivera were at the forefront of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. At the time, the distinction between "gay" and "transgender" was less rigid in the public eye—everyone who defied traditional gender and sexual norms was grouped together.

Pioneered by Black and Latine trans women and queer youth in Harlem during the late 20th century, ballroom culture created "houses" that served as alternative families. This culture gave birth to voguing, runway categories, and linguistic terms like "spilling tea," "throwing shade," and "work."
