A postal service stamp advisory panel will consider issuing stamps honoring three deceased drag icons who have become heroic figures within the LGBTQ community.
The trio would be the first drag performers to be honored in such a manner if the stamps are approved. Those being considered by the U.S.
Postal Service's Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee are José Julio Sarria, Marsha P. Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera, according to a December 9 letter the federal agency sent to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
On the last day of LGBTQ History Month in October, the 11-member board became the first elected body to officially endorse the postage effort.
