Stonewall, an upcoming movie on the Stonewall Riots in New York, doesn’t have a single PoC as the lead.

I repeat… Stonewall, an upcoming movie on the Stonewall Riots in New York- a stance against police brutality, WHICH WAS LEAD BY TRANS WOMEN OF COLOUR- doesn’t have a single PoC as the lead.

Not to mention that Marsha P Johnson, THE trans woman who started it all, is a minor character who is being played by a cis man.

First the depoliticization of Pride, then the erasure of trans people, and now the white washing of queer history…amazing.

in case anyone needs a source here’s the blindingly white cast list on imdb (which also confirms marsha p johnson being played by a cis man)

and this is the poster and description:

what the fuck?

Where’s Sylvia Rivera?
Where’s Storme DeLarverie?
How dare they try to rewrite LGBT history to be about solely cis white gay men?

Spread this around, everywhere. If Hollywood isn’t flat out yelled in the face about this, they won’t bother to change anything.
