Marsha P Johnson. (Netflix) Plans for a gaudy rainbow mural in the Marsha P Johnson state park in New York have been scrapped, after complaints from the trans hero’s family. In August, 2020, New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced that Brooklyn’s East River State Park was being renamed Marsha P Johnson State Park, making it “the first state park to honour an LGBT+ person”. But since then, plans have been made for the design of the park, with little input from the LGBT+ community or Johnson’s own family. At a community meeting last week, Black trans activists raised concerns about the “harsh thermoplastic colours and extended cement slabs”, while Johnson’s family accused the city of using her name for publicity.
