Loved that they cast trans actresses Alexandra Grey as Marsha P. Johnson and Trace Lysette as Sylvia Rivera. The whole episode was fantastic.

Oh and Saoirse- it's Carrie not Carry.

The description was supplied by theTVDB.com with this spelling; also, it looks like she spelled it both ways.

This episode didn't have a lot of laughs but the storytelling was top notch and that last story was especially gripping even if it's a version of one I've heard before.

I really liked this one, especially the last story. She was a great storyteller, it was a story I knew nothing about except the name.  Loved seeing the trans actress from Transparent make a showing here, she did very well.

Good narration again. It looks like Derek is trying to do some directing again. The narrators were good. The second guy was a smidge drunk but he could handle it with Derek prodding along. 

I loved all the people dancing in Stonewall. 

Whomever was playing Marsha tore the cover off it.

Sidenote- the trans actress who played Marsha was also on an episode each of Chicago Med and Code Black playing trans characters.

Suck it Roland Emmerich and his horrible movie Stonewall.
