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.

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.

Erin In The Morning · After Trans People, Trump Now Erasing Bisexual People From Stonewall National MonumentBy Erin Reed

Come on Bi folk, now is the time to make our voices heard

@ErinInTheMorn
"Earlier this year, the Trump administration digitally erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument, scrubbing them from the history they helped shape. The decision sparked widespread protests at the civil rights landmark and raised alarm about broader efforts to censor transgender people from the public record. Now, new signs suggest the administration has set its sights on another target: bisexual people. Key historical and cultural pages associated with the Stonewall site have been updated to describe the uprising as a milestone for “gay and lesbian rights,” quietly removing any mention of bisexual or transgender individuals.

"Signs that the pages dedicated to Stonewall were being tampered with emerged early in Trump’s second presidency. Before the first update, the Stonewall National Monument page acknowledged that "before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) person was illegal.” The revised version then stated, “almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal.” Now, a new version of the page indicates that “Before the 1960s, almost everything about living authentically as a gay or lesbian person was illegal.”

@mills @queerde Ah, dich meinte ich gar nicht :'D
Nur als Beispiel, dass es eben non-straight queere Menschen gibt und daher "Straight Pride" naja ist.

Und klar, wenn man aktiv und klar sich einsetzt ist das toll, ich möchte nur ungern Leuten erklären warum Cops wirklich nicht auf den CSD gehören, #Stonewall undso.

"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.

“June 28, 1969 marks the beginning of the #Stonewall Uprising, a series of events between police and [2S]LGBTQ+ protesters which stretched over six days. It was not the first time police raided a gay bar, and it was not the first time 2SLGBTQ+ people fought back, but the events that would unfold over the next six days would fundamentally change the discourse surrounding 2SLGBTQ+activism in the #UnitedStates. While Stonewall became well known due to the media coverage and the subsequent annual #Pride traditions, it was a culmination of years of 2SLGBTQ+ activism. Historians have noted that the shift in activism, if Stonewall truly represented one at all, was a shift primarily for white cisgender people, as people of color and gender non-conforming people never truly had the benefit of concealing their marginalized identities.”

Video: Marching in St Pete Pride with People's Pride Coalition

On June 28, 2025, the 56th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, St Petersburg FL's Pride parade took to the streets.

The People's Pride Coalition was one of a number of contingents taking issue with corporatization of Pride, cops in Pride (one chant was "Fuck the Police!"), and the whole idea that Pride should not be a protest.

Video is shot from inside the Pride parade, marching with the People's Pride Coalition contingent.
