“I will never say to anyone, especially a friend or a lover, that what they are doing is ‘not butch’ or ‘not femme.’ I don’t believe it is possible for a butch to do something not butch or a femme to do something not femme. For most of us who claim these words, we do become them, and they become us, and thus everything we do is inside of them.�� There is no singular standard of conduct for all butches everywhere. We all pick and choose different parts of masculinity, different parts of humanity, to make up our individual characters. Some of us may align with more traditional, stereotypical masculinity than others. Some of us embody a great many supposed contradictions—and like it that way.”

— Sinclair Sexsmith, “With Both Fists: Conscious Gender Building through the Butch and Femme Identities,” Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme (Eds. Ivan E. Coyote & Zena Sharman)

If you’re butch, your body is butch. Your boobs are butch, your hips are butch, your narrow shoulders or short stature are butch. Butchness does not have to be about passing as a man or achieving that lanky teen boy androgyny that’s pushed on us. Just being as we are is butch. It’s about us making and taking our space in the world, not fitting into a narrow standard of masculinity.

On June 28, 1969, patrons were gathered at The Stonewall Inn to mourn and commiserate over the untimely death of Judy Garland. To many there, The Stonewall was more than just a bar and a gathering place, it was the closest thing they had to a home, and a place where they could be safe among other people like them.

In the early morning hours, police began a raid of the Stonewall with the intention of shutting it down and dismantling it. The raid began routinely enough, but as it dragged on, the patrons started getting angry and fighting back. They were fed up with constant police harassment and the everyday discrimination they faces as queer people, and were willing to fight for a place that was theirs.

People began throwing mugs, rocks, bricks, and anything else that wasn't nailed down, and soon it turned into a full-on riot. The police had no choice but to withdraw.

Although this wasn't the first time gay people as a community had instigated a riot, it was by far the most significant. For the first time, homosexuals who had previously been seen as passive and un-threatening were ready to not just plead for their rights, but to actually fight for them.

The Stonewall Riots brought in a new era of gay political activism. The one year anniversary of the riot was declared Christopher Street Liberation Day, which was one of the first gay pride events in the US. Before long, every major city had a gay rights organization, and the cause started getting mainstream political attention.
