Title A name given to the resource CO LGBT History Project: Transsexual, Gay, Lesbian Defense Committee protest of the killing of Irene DeSoto and Tracy Levi in March 1978 Date Created Date of creation of the resource. March 1978 Subject The topic of the resource Activism, Protest, Transgender History, Irene De Soto, Tracy Levi Description An account of the resource This collection of photographs was taken by Pat Gourley who would later go on to become a prominent member in HIV/AIDS work in Denver. In 1977, Tracy Levi was killed at the hands of a Denver police officer, while Irene De Soto was killed a year later. Both were people doing sex work in the area and were among a rash of violent clashes or suspicious deaths among the many minority communities of Denver. Each group responded with a separate protest. Missy and Monique, as explained in Pat Gourley's oral history, helped to organize the Transsexual, Gay, Lesbian Defense Committee to protest their killing of Irene and Tracy. Gourley pointed out in the oral history that Missy (blonde hair in the photographs) and Monique (dark hair) risked a great deal going "in face" (that is presenting their gender as women). Though drag and cross-dressing were decriminalized with the work of the Gay Coalition of Denver in 1973, it was still dangerous, and Gourley noted they could still be harassed, arrested, or harmed. The march started at around 20th and Broadway where Tracy was killed, continued to near 13th and Pennsylvania near where Irene was killed, and ended with a rally at the Denver Police Head Quarters on 14th and Cherokee. The rally consisted of many groups including lesbians, gay men, transgender people, Denver Socialists and Denver Feminists (each a political group). No one claimed Irene's body so she was given a pauper's grave after cremation, yet this protest represents the first of its kind in Colorado, representing a protest for the life of two black and brown people who did sex work, and who were likely transgender. This event represents stories of allyship from people outside the queer community, and unity within a community often at odds within long before a cohesive and inclusive identity was articulated. It is likely the first protest of its kind in Colorado. (special connections to the Matt Kailey History Committee and thanks to Pat Gourley for use of the photographs).
