And so knowing that we have her as inspiration,

Really feels good for me to be able to step in to those shoes and sort of pick up and carry the torch where she left off.

Famously, you know, now...

I've Had It
Pimps, Hoes & Politicians

55 years, I think, after the Stonewall uprising in the heart of New York City, Greenwich Village, where police officers were attacking the LGBT community, raiding a gay bar, and then also focusing and targeting trans sex workers and people who were on the street who didn't have all the money and the protection that they would normally have.

How I feel about him on the side, I love him.

I've Had It
Pimps, Hoes & Politicians

I think he's great.

I've Had It
Pimps, Hoes & Politicians

And he came in the door principled.

And that we have that, I know that the city and the people in the city are going to be so much better off.
