LGBTQ Muslims Call for Permanent Ceasefire in Front of Stonewall

One-hundred LGBTQ Muslims gathered for a jummah prayer for Palestine in front of the Stonewall National Monument on Friday to demonstrate that there is “no pride in genocide.” “Queer Muslim New Yorkers are rising up in solidarity with Palestinians, and through a queer Muslim-led interfaith prayer, they will stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are facing genocide, starvation, and ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Israeli government backed by the United States,” organizers said in a statement. “Queer communities face historical discrimination, prejudice, violence, criminalization, lack of proper healthcare and/or gender affirming care, and more — and here in the U.S. queer activists have been rising up against increased LGBTQ+ attacks, yet their struggles are being exploited in a dangerous narrative war to suggest that there would be no place for queer people in Palestine,”

in preparation for pride month 2023 people should know that miss major griffin-gracy, one of our surviving veterans of Stonewall, wrote a memoir that just came out. it’s called Miss Major Speaks, and if your library doesn’t have it/have it on order, you should buy it to support her retirement.

if you want to learn more about her, you should also watch the documentary about her life, MAJOR!, which is really wonderful.

Happy Pride Month! To kick off pride I'm busting some myths about the Stonewall Riots, Marsha P. Johnson, and giving some love and recognition to Stormé DeLarverie!

This was sitting unfinished for months but I got it together and completed it in time for pride.

Edit (6/12/23): I believe only the first Joseph Ambrosini photo was confirmed to be taken the first night of the Stonewall riots; I couldn't find sources that indicated if the other photos were taken on that same night or not.

“The nights of Friday, June 27, 1969 and Saturday, June 28, 1969 will go down in history as the first time that thousands of Homosexual men and women went out into the streets to protest the intolerable situation which has existed in New York City for many years…”

—Flier written by activist Craig Rodwell, 29 June 1969

Today marks 54 years since the famous riots which began with a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, and were a catalyst for the modern gay rights movement in the USA, and many other countries.

On This Day In History

At 1:20am on June 28th, 1969 in New York City, police enter the Stonewall Inn to arrest crossdressers. In response to mass arrests and unprovoked police brutality, the crowd responds with violence and the Stonewall Riots, lasting 6 days, begin.

state by state our civil rights & basic human rights are stripped away.

the federal government enables, codifies & otherwise remains silent.

silence = death

no one should think they can coast through an election.

resistance without representation.

we are criminals after all.

So last year was the first year that LGBTQIA+ people were counted in the UK census. The results have been released and according to Stonewall there are 28,000 aces in the UK. That is MASSIVE! 💜

Edit: these numbers are just from England and Wales so it will be even higher when Scotland and Northern Ireland are added 🎉

Over on Twitter, "community notes" are "factchecking" claims that drag queens and trans women were at Stonewall by invoking the words of one Fred Sargeant, a Stonewall veteran turned cop turned TERF - not using that as a generic descriptor, but an accurate one, as his bio has "I Stand With JK" in it.

Fred Sargeant has, in recent years, pivoted hard to erasure of trans people and drag queens from the history of Stonewall, in the name of proving that it was entirely cis lesbians and cis gay men responsible, and when anyone pushes back, he drops the phrase that in his view terminates all debate: he was there and you were not, so you've got to trust him.

One problem, though. By his own admission, Fred Sargeant was not in the Stonewall Inn that night, and only came upon the event after police entered the bar.

Yes, his story has always been that he was at a dinner party when it began, and observed Stonewall when he walked by and saw people and cops gathered outside the bar. As he said at the time:

The kids felt that some of the other kids were being kept inside and being beaten up by the police. I don't know whether it really happened that way or not, but the rumor spread.

Authoritative stuff.

Sources do agree Stormé DeLarverie, alone or part of a group of butch lesbians, scuffled with police; they disagree on if that was the singular cause of it escalating into a riot or one of several causes. Stonewall is...a incredibly fuzzy event we'll never have a perfectly objective record of, for many, many reasons, and we accepted that, until a guy who was at a dinner party instead of in the bar decided to appoint himself the One Authoritative Voice on what really happened at Stonewall that night, and frame anyone who disagrees with him as a liar who just can't accept the truth.

Stonewall probably wasn't exclusively about trans people, but it sure as hell wasn't not at all about trans people either.

...again, this guy lived through Stonewall and then became a cop, and he wants himself to be the sole acceptable elder for the entire gay community.
