“In this city, as Qween said, we are all one paycheck away from being homeless, from being unhoused, from being hungry, unfortunately,” they said.Author and vegan activist Stewart Mitchell, aka Vigilante Vegan, attended the Greenwich Village rally because he considered it his duty as a cisgender heterosexual man to stand in solidarity with the transgender community.
Qween Jean told the crowd she was “outraged” by the crisis the trans community was facing and that “they were sadly mistaken” if they believed the anti-trans wave only affected transgender people in Florida, Texas, or the Midwest, where most of these laws have been passed.The rally was briefly interrupted when Parks Enforcement Patrol and NYPD officers told the crowd they couldn’t use amplified sound devices since they require a permit.
NYPD officials on the scene ultimately gave the order to arrest her for using a sound device without a permit. That’s when the outspoken activist dashed into a deli on the corner of West 3rd and Sullivan Streets, followed by a slew of cops and activists.Photo by Gabriele Holtermann
