There are a lot of lists of who died last year, but I haven’t seen any specific to LGBTQ and feminist communities, so here goes:
- Mike Penner / Christine Daniels – transgender sports writer
- Michele La Freniere – transgender activist
- Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick = queer theorist
- Bea Arthur – gay icon/actor
- Dr. George Tiller – abortion doctor
- Virginia Prince – crossdressing pioneer
- Ted Kennedy – key legislator on LGBT rights
- Dottie Laing – crossdresser’s wife & out trans partner
Stars, all. Rest in peace.
