I watched Rustin today and could feel the whole thing as an ethnically Jewish Lesbian from NYC and all the activism I have done as a woman, as a Lesbian and as a Union Tradeswoman( now retired from the Trades). Also was heavily involved with the Marriage Equality Movement and lifelong Feminist since age 9!!
Multiple levels of discrimination, some from one's own which is often the hardest.
What a brave, outspoken and bold man Bayard Rustin was and for all his hard work, pressured to stay out of the limelight. I truly admire him.
