Stonewall vet Miss Major Griffin-Gracy 'surrounded by love' as she enters hospice care

""Miss Major is at home on hospice," Beck Witt Major said in a Facebook post Saturday. "She is comfortable and surrounded by love.""

""Friends, Miss Major has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot," Witt Major wrote. "I'm worried about her please pray for her and donate if you can.""

""I'm not going back. I refuse to go back. And if [Trump] thinks we're going back, fuck him in his ass," she said to applause."

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, 84, a Stonewall veteran and Black genderqueer transgender woman, is receiving hospice care at home after hospitalization for a bloodstream infection, sepsis, and a blood clot. She has experienced ongoing health challenges, including a 2019 stroke and a January hospitalization that resulted in a need for 24-hour nursing care. Major spent five decades advocating for incarcerated trans people, particularly trans women of color, worked with multiple HIV/AIDS organizations, and served as the first executive director of the Transgender Gender-Variant and Intersex Justice Project until retiring in 2015. A crowdfunding campaign is raising funds for her healthcare expenses.
