There are a lot of lists of who died last year, but I haven't seen any specific to LGBTQ and feminist communities, so here goes:
* Mike Penner / Christine Daniels – transgender sports writer
* Michele La Freniere – transgender activist
* Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick = queer theorist
* Bea Arthur – gay icon/actor
* Dr. George Tiller – abortion doctor
* Virginia Prince – crossdressing pioneer
* Ted Kennedy – key legislator on LGBT rights
* Dottie Laing – crossdresser's wife & out trans partner
Stars, all. Rest in peace.
