Dilophosaurus approaches the summit.

A new cis friend I made on BlueSky found this article on the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riot after I told them about it.

We had a good conversation about the ways in which the black Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s informed queer activists in the 1960s and 1970s

We talk about how Marsha Johnson threw the first brick at #stonewall , which is good symbolism, but I think vastly undersells how much our rights are built off of the success of the fight in the US against segregation, as well as off of the fight for Indian independence

I was reminded of this book by @so_treu about a week ago. I’m re-reading parts of it and it’s so, so good I just want to do my part to spread the word. We are so lucky to have access to Miss Major’s story and her voice. She turns 80 next year!

Today in Labor History July 24, 1969: The Gay Liberation Front was founded in New York City less than one month after the Stonewall Riots. Members of the GLF would go on to found other radical queer activist groups like the Gay Activists Alliance, Gay Youth New York, and Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), and later groups such as ACT UP, the Lesbian Avengers, Queer Nation, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The GLF had a broad political platform, that was anti-racist and anti-capitalist. They supported various Third World struggles and the Black Panthers. They attacked the nuclear family and traditional gender roles. Some of their earliest direct actions were protests against the negative portrayal of queer people in the media, with an early focus on the homophobia of the Village Voice. Later in 1969, they started publishing their own magazine, “Come Out!”

Transphobic queers & TERFS beware!

You thought by throwing trans and nonbinary folks under the bus, you'd be safe from the fascists in Washington. That it was fine to remove trans folks from the Stonewall monument.

We told you then that NO ONE was free unless EVERYONE was free. That after they'd came for the trans folks they'd come for you.

And now.... Trump is erasing bisexuals from the Stonewall monument.

Der traurigste Clown in der Manege heißt Friedrich Merz.

"Visitors to the Stonewall Inn in 1969 were greeted by a bouncer who inspected them through a peephole in the door. The legal drinking age was 18 and to avoid unwittingly letting in undercover police (who were called "Lily Law", "Alice Blue Gown", or "Betty Badge"), visitors would have to be known by the doorman or 'look gay'."

Look gay?

Today in Labor History July 2, 1951: Transgender revolutionary activist Sylvia Rivera was born. Ran away from home at age 11 to avoid abuse and did sex work to survive. As she got older, she became active in the antiwar movement and black liberation struggle, and then with the Gay Liberation Front. Together, with her friend Marsha P Johnson, and others, she co-founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries in 1970. This radical group helped raise funds to rent an apartment to house and support homeless queer youth. Much of that funding came from their sex work. She was very critical of the mainstream, middle-class, cis leadership of the gay rights movement, particularly when the 1986 Gay Rights Bill was passed without mentioning trans people. At the Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally in New York City, in 1973, Rivera jumped onstage during feminist Jean O'Leary's speech, which disparaged drag queens, and shouted: "Y'all Better Quiet Down! You go to bars because of what drag queens did for you, and these bitches tell us to quit being ourselves!" Today she is known as one of the leaders who made sure there was a T in LGBTQ.
