There are a lot of gay transvestites who have been in jail for no reason at all.
I'd been going to jail for like, 10 years before the Stonewall.
I got lost in the music in 1963 at Stonewall... No! No, it was Stonewall - it was 1967 that I got lost. In 19 - oh my dear, Stonewall, I got lost at Stonewall. Heard it through the grapevine. 1969! I got lost in the music and I couldn't get out.
I know people think I'm a stupid little street queen out there begging for change cause there's nothing else she knows how to do.
They call me a legend in my own time, because there were so many queens gone that I'm one of the few queens left from the '70s and the '80s.
Gay sisters don't think too bad of transvestites. Gay brothers do.
I never come out of drag to go anywhere. Everywhere I go I get all dressed up.
I got robbed once. A man pulled a gun on me and snatched my pocketbook in a car. I don't trust men that much any more.
