Notes
1. The 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay & Bi Equal Rights and Liberation was the third of the five official LGBTQ marches on Washington, to date; the first to feature “bi” in its title, and to include a bi speaker on the main stage, Lani Ka'ahumanu, of San Francisco, who was the last speaker of the day. Bisexual activist and spiritual leader Ibrahim Farajaje, who recently died this past February 8, 2016, in Oakland, California, also participated in the Holocaust Museum ceremony with Starhawk that weekend.
