âOne night, in Clairâs Restaurant, I approached StormĂŠ and asked her if she would be willing to provide a $5 donation [towards a Christmas fund for people living with AIDS]. Â I told her what we were trying to do, and when I had finished, she turned to me and asked, âAre you going to be here for a few hours, baby?â Â I told her I would be, and several hours later StormĂŠ walked back into the restaurant with over $2,000. I was speechless and unable to find the words to thank her appropriately, but StormĂŠ simply said, âIâll meet you here tomorrow with more.â She was true to her word.â
- HIV/AIDS activist Patrick Merry remembering the incredible generosity of drag king and bouncer StormĂŠ DeLarverie
Weâll be talking more about StormĂŠ on June 1st when we cover the Stonewall Riots, so now is a great time to check out our podcast and learn about her life!
