“Lady Gaga. I love her music. She’s unique. I like everything about her. She doesn’t care what people say about her. She’s her own person. I’m the same way.”

“Harvey Milk. I saw the movie about him. He was a voice for the little guy. In his day, LGBTs were voiceless. He gave them a voice. His death left an enormous void in the community.”

“Freddie Mercury. I’m a huge Queen fan. I listen to their music whenever I can. I don’t see why we can’t have a street named for Freddie. I’d also like a street named for Liberace. He was very flamboyant — and sometimes you need flamboyance to shake up the world a bit.”

“Billie Jean King. I’m a big supporter of women’s rights. I think it’s so cool that she beat Bobby Riggs in that tennis match. She’s a tough lady. And I admire strong women.”

Why not name a street after a Philadelphian who did so much for our community rather than someone was never involved in Philadelphia? I propose Barbara Gittings. An activist until her death.

Barbara didn't particularly care for trans rights.
