Capturing the vibrant life of LGBT activist Marsha P. Johnson
Just ahead of Pride season, a new biography of the venerated activist Marsha P. Johnson by the multidisciplinary artist Tourmaline has hit bookstore shelves.
When Marsha P. Johnson died in 1992, she was a beloved figure in New York's LGBTQ+ social scenes and liberation movements. Since then — thanks to work from community activists and historians, including Tourmaline — her legacy has grown deeper, her reputation traveling further. Today, there is a state park in New York named after her and a bronze bust of her housed in the New York LGBT Center. Online, tributes pop up on social media every summer commemorating her activism.

Fans React to Timothee Chalamet Announcement During Knicks-Pacers Game 6
Fans React to Timothee Chalamet Announcement During Knicks-Pacers Game 6 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the New York Knicks play, the stars come out. Ben Stiller, Larry David, Bad Bunny, and, of course, Spike Lee are all regulars courtside, although the Knicks travel very well, bringing their most famous fans on the road with them. Advertisement This season, especially in this postseason, actor Timothée Chalamet has been a staple courtside, and in Game 6 in Indianapolis against the Pacers, it was no exception, as he was sitting behind the basket in the first row. Actor and New York Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet cheers while sitting courtside.© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images While Chalamet wasn't the only star in the building (Caitlin Clark was there to cheer on the Pacers), he represents a younger generation of Knicks fans who expect the best from their team. The NBA is driven by its stars, with players like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant shouldering the league for decades, but the league opted to capitalize on Chalamet, who is a different kind of superstar. Chalamet and Jenner have been involved in a relationship for two years, and the couple has been courtside at every game of the Eastern Conference Finals, prompting reactions from fans. Advertisement "He fr got Kylie Jenner in Indianapolis on a Saturday night," posted a fan. "They're going to be in tears by the end of the night," posted another, as the Pacers took a commanding lead. "Bro willingly got her to come to INDIANA," joked another. "He's the one." Of course, not everyone cared for the celebrity update. "We follow NBA for the action not for the actors," pointed out a fan, while others offered a very simple "noboy cares." The NBA is a league of stars, and as long as the Association gets attention and engagement, expect them to put A-listers front and center.
