It's been surprising to see, as PIB came back into a wider public awareness, that the long and troubling financial and legal history of her towards the subjects of her work is not so much. Here she is still being awful about this in 2019.https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/06/paris-is-burning-documentary-drag-jennie-livingston-interview …

Meanwhile, queer and trans people still need the same help they needed 30 years ago.
