Interview With Edith Windsor, Part 3

Marriage Equality USA has posted the third and final installment of their interview with Edith Windsor. Via Gay Star News:

‘When Stonewall happened, I was really this ignorant middle class lady who said “I don’t see why I have to be identified with those queens,”‘ Windsor said in an interview posted Thursday (24 July) by Marriage Equality USA. But the woman whose lawsuit brought down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) soon realized how heroic the drag queens who took a stand against police raids were. ‘I mean those queens changed my life,’ she says. ‘And I saw them and I loved what I saw. It was the beginning of my sense of community.’ Windsor sued the US government when she was billed $363,053 in estate taxes after the death of wife Thea Spyer in 2009.
