Sylvia Rae
Rivera, 1951-2002, was a Stonewall Riots Veteran and LGBTQ/Drag Queen
activist. Many will remember Sylvia as the Coordinator of the Food Pantry
for Metropolitan Community Church of New York where she was a member. On
her deathbed she insisted that Rev. Pat Bumgardner promise the church would
create accommodation so that LGBTQ Youth could find a safe space to spend
the night when all other options were exhausted.
