Johnson stood for “Pay it no mind” — and when people got too nosy about her, that is what she would tell them. Pay it no mind. Friends say the world heeded that advice, giving Johnson — a transgender activist who played a vital role in the Stonewall riots and the gay rights movement it launched — far less attention than she deserved. Now that’s finally changing. As New York prepares to mark the 50th anniversary of Stonewall alongside its Pride celebration, the city announced plans to build a statue honoring Johnson and her friend Sylvia Rivera, who also championed LGBT rights. It will be the world’s first permanent, public monument honoring transgender women. "The city Marsha and Sylvia called home will honor their legacy and tell their stories for generations to come,” said New York City first lady Chirlane McCray."
