1 00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:13,939 Here she is now, Ellen DeGeneres! 2 00:00:13,939 --> 00:00:21,379 Hi everyone! I'm Ellen and tonight, as you all know, we have Marcia Jansson, a transgender woman, LGBT activist. 3 00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:25,539 Do you remember your childhood as a happy period of your life? 4 00:00:25,539 --> 00:00:28,980 My childhood was really happy until my youth arrived. 5 00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:35,460 It was really hard to face so many bad comments about my appearance and identity, 6 00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:37,460 but I managed to overcome them. 7 00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:41,460 So, how do you describe yourself? 8 00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:52,460 Well, that's difficult, but I must describe myself as a very persistent and helpful person. 9 00:00:52,460 --> 00:00:57,460 Alright, that's great Marsha. Have you ever gone through a scary situation? 10 00:00:57,460 --> 00:01:04,459 Of course. I suppose you all know the story about what happened in Stonewall Inn. 11 00:01:04,459 --> 00:01:06,459 It was really, really, really scary. 12 00:01:06,459 --> 00:01:09,459 Some of our viewers don't know about it. Could you please tell us? 13 00:01:09,459 --> 00:01:14,459 Yes, of course. It all happened the night of the 28th of June in 1969. 14 00:01:14,459 --> 00:01:23,459 LGBT people weren't allowed to enter in pubs except in the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in New York. 15 00:01:23,459 --> 00:01:33,459 We met there and had some bodies and that night the police arrived and told us that we should get naked in order to prove our gender. 16 00:01:33,459 --> 00:01:45,120 There was the first night we didn't agree to get naked, so we started a revolution, and the next day there was the first gay pride in New York. 17 00:01:45,219 --> 00:01:52,540 That's incredible. As you know, I'm a member of the LGBT community, and I'm really grateful for what you and many other people do. 18 00:01:52,540 --> 00:02:03,340 Oh, thanks. I trust that nowadays youth can continue improving our society, and LGBT people can get the rights that they deserve. 19 00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:07,459 Thank you, Marcia, for coming and sharing your story with us. 20 00:02:07,459 --> 00:02:09,460 Thank you for having me. 21 00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:23,460 Just let me love you tonight 22 00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:42,639 I'll run, need time
