Because they made an honest mistake, which is still usually met with “well pay the idiot tax then” but this is an extremely good and important thread and the mods rock for clearing it up almost immediately!

As a white gay man, my knowledge of the Stonewall riots is unfortunately almost negligible and I’ve been feeling increasingly shameful when I realize how little I know about the history of LGBTQ rights.

Thank you for the thread!

They should pay the tax gently caress em

Or maybe chill the gently caress out? If they made him give money to SA right now it would still go to Lowtax. You are arguing that this person should pay $10 to a woman beater.


Also thanks for the thread op. I knew nothing of this event and it reminded me of GLOW last season.

Thanks for that link!

Also, guess who made it to a google doodle:


You could argue about google and corporate involvement in Pride, but I think it is an overall good thing that more people learn about Stonewall and who was involved

Fun fact: one of the reasons a gross, poorly-maintained, mafia-run, scammy bar was so popular is that other gay bars/private clubs were WILDLY classist and racist. The Stonewall Inn was one of the few places where gay and trans POC were accepted and could form a community within a queer space. A lot of the kids who had been kicked out and disowned by their families would hang out there simply to be off the streets for the night, which is in fact how Sylvia Rivera met Marsha; Marsha took Sylvia under her wing and taught her how to pass better, helped her find housing and work, etc.
Boystown in Chicago has much the same problem. Once a neighborhood full of punks and all kinds of gender-nonconforming/queer/trans people, especially drag queens, it soon became a queer Mecca. As gay white men moved in, they slowly drove up the cost of living in the neighborhood until the only people who could afford to live there were high-earning gay white male couples. Who promptly started calling the cops on the queer POC (primarily Black) kids who were literally coming and going from the only gay youth center in the city. We just had a Pride Without Prejudice March about it, and a LOT of queens of color shared their stories of discrimination, humiliation, and assault from the gay men and bars in the area.
If anyone feels like donating, the Brave Space Alliance is committed to an intersectional approach to the queer struggle in our community here.

Also, has anyone heard of the Compton Cafeteria Uprising in 1966? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compton%27s_Cafeteria_riot

Thanks for this thread! Happy Stonewall Day!

Seems I cant make this link work.
Anyway, this is Peppermint. She is a Black trans woman drag queen.
She gained fame through RuPaul’s Drag Race, but as you can imagine, there is more to a Black trans woman drag queen than being reality tv person. She has her own youtube channel (Miss Peppermint) with videos of her performances and also videos talking about her life. I don’t know if her videos are for everyone, but you can always check it out and decide for yourself.



Nice thread OP.

I learned a lot from your post!

Also from the wikipedia article you posted:

quote:

The incident began when a transgender woman resisted arrest by throwing coffee at a police officer. It was followed by drag queens pouring into the streets, fighting back with their high heels and heavy bags.
