The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson
Marsha P. Johnson has been called “the Rosa Parks of the LGBTQ movement,” because of the pivotal role she played in the Stonewall riots of 1969 alongside the likes of Sylvia Rivera and others. She was also a pioneer of the gay liberation movement, co-founder of S.T.A.R. (Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries), a self-proclaimed drag queen, community leader and, according to her friend and roommate, Randy Wicker, an “Andy Warhol model, prostitute, starving actress and saint.” Her life and tragic death is captured in the Netflix doc from David France, who says, “If you were in New York in gay New York, in queer New York during her lifetime, you knew Marsha.”

As part of the new Magnolia Network, the revamped series sees Chip and Joanna Gaines return to what they do best: turn outdated homes into stunning and innovative living spaces. “The day we wrapped our final episode of
Fixer Upper, we really believed it was a chapter closed. We knew we needed a break and a moment to catch our breath. But we also knew we weren’t done dreaming about ways to make old things new again,” the couple previously said, taking time to focus on their expanding business and growing family. “These past few years, we’ve continued tackling renovations and projects, doing the work we’re passionate about, but I don t think either of us anticipated how the show would become such a permanent fixture in our hearts. We’ve missed sharing the stories of these families and their homes with you, and we’re excited to do that again very soon!”
