    « Across the country love for Pride events is waning. Why is it that our allyship with LGBTQ+ rights isn't as strong as it once was and what has the trans debate got to do with it? »

    Complete failure to mention the concerted TERF anti-trans bigotry that might be one significant factor.

    The BBC platforming Crafty Wank saying everything was achieved, the campaign is over, could be another.

  3. “The sensational, dazzling, iridescent spectacle is unfolding right before me. I see demonstrators with self-made placards or huge banners on which they’ve written their demands, hopes and dreams, but also their displeasure at politics.”

    “We will keep doing this,” he said, adding: “Our community is not going to stand for our park, our flagpole, to be disrespected by the Trump administration.”

  5. RE: mastodon.social/@blogdiva/1143

    my yearly reminder that USA’s #LGBTQI civil rights movement not only has two moms but they were transgender African American and Latine women.

    on this #TDOR #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, all new yorkers owe a debt of gratitude to Ms. Marsha P. Johson and Ms. Sylvia Rivera. without their continued leadership after the #StonewallRiots, #nyc wouldn’t have today a hospital & clinics system that offers health care to all, regardless of ability to pay.

  6. Diesmal reisen wir ins New York der späten 1960er-Jahre: zur Nacht, in der sich queere Menschen im #Stonewall Inn gegen staatliche Repression wehrten. Gemeinsam zeichnen wir nach, wie sich aus der Wut über Polizeigewalt und #Diskriminierung eine neue Form queeren Selbstbewusstseins entwickelte.

  8. 1/2
    In den frühen Morgenstunden des 28. Juni 1969 leisteten queere Menschen, insbesondere BIPoC, trans Personen und Drag Queens Widerstand gegen eine Polizeirazzia in der Bar Stonewall Inn.
    Was folgte, waren Tage des Protests, ein Aufschrei gegen Diskriminierung, Ausgrenzung und Polizeigewalt.

    Ohne Stonewall gäbe es kein Pride, keine queere Sichtbarkeit, keine Bewegung wie wir sie heute kennen.

    We Gave You Riots

  11. On 28 June 1969, New York City police arrived at the Stonewall Inn, a bar in Greenwich Village that catered to the gay community, to conduct a routine raid and arrest any individuals found to be cross-dressing. The raid did not proceed routinely, and resulted in resistance and demonstrations by the bar’s patrons and other individuals who gathered around the scene. The Stonewall Riots are considered to be a spark that ignited the gay rights movement.

  15. July 4, 1965: #LGBTQ activists hold the first Annual #ReminderDay demonstration in Philadelphia

    "On July 4, 1965, more than two dozen #LGBTQActivists demonstrate in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia in one of the earliest #GayRights demonstrations in the United States. The 'Reminder' demonstration, held annually through 1969, drew scant mainstream media coverage at the time but is now seen as an important precursor to the wider gay liberation movement.

    "'Across the street from the national shrine, a group of some 30 neatly dressed men and women picketed in a circle,' the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. 'Their signs asked for equal rights for homosexuals.'

    "Protest organizer Frank Kameny set the rules for the 1965 protest. 'We had to show respectability because of the public sentiment towards gay people at that time,' he told the Associated Press in 2015.

    "In the four years following the first protest, a growing number of people took part in the #AnnualReminders outside Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated and signed.

    "In 1965, gays and lesbians were prohibited from working in the federal government under an executive order signed in 1953 by President Dwight Eisenhower.

    "John S. James, who participated in the 1965 protest, told the AP in 2015 he was relieved no counterprotest took place at the Philadelphia event. He feared losing his government job if he were photographed. But an image of him was taken holding a sign that read: 'Homosexual citizens want their right to make their maximum contribution to society.'

    "In 1969, the #StonewallRiots—also called the #StonewallUprising—served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world. #Gay Rights expanded throughout the 1990s and 2000s, with Massachusetts becoming the first state to legalize #GayMarriage in 2004."

  16. Pride month is behind us, but the fight against what we call gender fascism is only intensifying.

    In this context, @CrimethInc invites you to revisit their text, "Stonewall Means Riot Right Now," exploring the relevance of the Stonewall riots to today's struggles for freedom.
