"CNSNews/By Penny Starr | November 17, 2015 | 11:19 AM EST (CNSNews.com) – The taxpayer-funded Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery has added a photo of a transgender sex worker to its "Struggle for Justice" civil rights exhibit.

The photograph depicts Sylvia Rivera--described as having been a "trans woman sex worker"--along with her partner Julie Murray and activist Christina Hayworth. The photograph was taken at a rally prior to the 2000 Gay Pride Parade in New York City."
