Stonewall Inn

The teen from Coney Island was mad that he got kicked out of the bar.

Remember: Stonewall started with drag queens.

Much of the story is well known within our community, but a lot of myth and embellishment has grown over the years, and many details lost.

They rose to remember Stonewall. And to fight back.

Talk about petty…

As Allen Ginsberg said, “They’ve lost that wounded look,” and we lost that look together at Stonewall.

In Prides past, I used to take offense that those were who got the ink and airtime, those groups of “extremes,” the uppercase versions of the LGBT spectrum.

Sen. Chuck Schumer said the grant sends a clear message to President Trump that Stonewall’s national monument designation is here to stay.

In a few years the right might convince itself that Trump flew to Orlando when the shooting started and slew Omar Mateen himself.

It’s Flag Day, and what could be a more appropriate day to honor the man who gave the world the Pride flag?
