Stormé DeLarverie (December 24, 1920 - May 24, 2014) was a biracial American drag king entertainer and later bouncer, remembered as a gay civil rights icon and the "Rosa Parks of the gay community". According to some eyewitnesses, her scuffle with the police was the spark that ignited the Stonewall riots.
