Cynthia Erivo pays tribute to Marsha P Johnson and other icons in moving speech
Briefly

"When I think of the word Icon, I think of Marsha P. Johnson, a revolutionary who worked to make change for the trans community and by default the queer community at large."
"I think of Reverend Pauli Murray, whose work influenced the civil rights movement and taught people that queerness does not erase faith. I think of George Michael who gave us the video and song freedom and celebrated the freedom of expression and self."
"Cynthia Erivo said her work and the 'stories' she chooses to tell are a 'celebration of humanity' and that she wants to 'celebrate us in all our differences and quirks, in our pain and scars, in our laughter and joy.'"
