The story

What Is Changing House About?

The premise of Changing House without spoilers.

Rusty and Chelsea, a transgender lesbian couple, spent fifteen years turning their Brooklyn home into a safe space for trans women. Always open, it was a hub for civil‑rights organizers and housed Stonewall legend Sylvia Rivera in her final years. Overwhelmed by referrals, the venture became unmanageable and Sylvia passed. In this portrait, Rusty, Chelsea and resident Cellia reflect on the house’s activist legacy and the fight against discrimination and homelessness.
