Stonewall rebel reflects 40 years after NYC riots

"They literally carried me into the ... wagon and threw me in there," recalled Castro, now 67. "It must've been the motivation of the crowd that inspired me to resist. Or maybe at that point enough was enough."

"There are many witnesses to the Stonewall riots who say a woman, a lesbian presumably, played an important role in intensifying the resistance when they tried to arrest her and put her in the wagon," said Jonathan Ned Katz, the Web site's director, who recently obtained the documents. "It's a very important name to be discovered."

I was in Long Island during the riots but I read about them. Looking back on that warm summer night, I was a descendant of those many pioneers. I thank them for their bravery and courage. Today, I am an open transgender person because they chose to fight oppression. It's something that I must continue to do also.
