In 1988, Leonard Matlovich died of complications from HIV/AIDS. By his own design, his tombstone does not bear his name. He is buried at the Washington DC Congressional Cemetery.

Sylvia spent a large portion of her life being marginalized by society but she didn't let it stop her. She didn't do it to be remembered. She didn't do it for glory. She did it because she believed in the idea that EVERYONE deserved equality. #LGBTVoices

Sylvia is of Puerto Rican descent but isn't someone you learn about in any history class taught in PR or in ANY US history course I took. If I could go back in time, I'd meet her and say THANK YOU.
