The Players Sheffield United Should Look to Sell This Summer

TW: A bit of sexual stuff

Okay so I looked into it guys. Greenwich Village is located in Manhattan, New York. In the 1910's (season 15 of murdoch is set in 1909) it was regarded as "America’s bohemia." The people who lived in the village were described as "radicals" who "rejected traditional structured socialization, preferring instead bohemian informality." Basically, they were rather irregular and artsy. It attracted people who wanted to live like this. That's what it was when Jack moved there. But it became a giant LGBT capital. After WWI many people moved into larger cities. The Gays™ were described by a newspaper as "short-haired women and long-haired men." Then the US government introduced a prohibition on alcohol sales and import from 1920-1933 as a sort of experiment to see if it lowered crime, corruption and other social issues, which ultimately failed. However, during this time police started doing raids because of the sheer number of establishments. They weren't able to police them all. Some of the raids were successful, so places like Eve's Hangout (a lesbian nightclub) were closed and their owners punished. Then in the 1950's a bunch of poets wrote about "the evils of the social organization at the time, glorifying anarchy, drugs, and hedonistic pleasures over unquestioning social compliance, consumerism, and closed mindedness." Some of them also wrote about homosexuality, like Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs. This all created a community that consisted mostly of open-minded liberals and people looking for community. THEN (lots of thens lol) in the 1960's the mayor tried to get rid of every gay bar there ever could be. He was worried that they would cast a bad light on his city if countries to came for the 1964 World Fair saw a bunch o' hippies and homos. The city took away liquor licenses and a bunch of raids were conducted. Police often tried to catch gay men by posing as a gay man, flirting with them and once they had the evidence they'd arrest said man for solicitation (such as our 2nd favorite station house 4 detective in season 1??) According to wikipedia, "One story in the New York Post described an arrest in a gym locker room, where the officer grabbed his crotch, moaning, and a man who asked him if he was all right was arrested." In 1967, 2 notorious LGBT establishments were opened; the Oscar Wilde Bookshop, founded by Craig Rodwell, and Stonewall Inn was bought by Mafioso Fat Tony Lauria and turned into a gay bar. It was surprisingly common for crime families to own gay bars. They'd often overcharge watered-down drinks, but they'd also provide safe-havens and pay off police to prevent alcohol raids. It was the place of the Stonewall Riots, one of the first and biggest uprisings against LGBT oppression. It was a giant LGBT capitol, and still is. Idk how to conclude this but basically, it was a rather gay village. Also whoever wrote the wikipedia page is my hero.

On Sunday, June 28, 1970, Craig Rodwell went to Sheridan Square to prepare for the first Christopher Street Liberation Day march, not quite sure what to expect. Crowds were to assemble on two nearby streets, Washington Place and Waverly Place between Sixth and Seventh avenues. The first signs were not encouraging. People were throwing eggs from buildings in the assembly areas at those preparing to march, and probably fewer than a thousand people had gathered. Still, Craig told himself, a thousand would be the largest gay demonstration ever. Even his friends on the committee who had planned the event with him had predicted that they would never get more than a thousand people to march all the way from the Village to Central Park, where there was to be an assembly, or Gay-in, at the Sheep Meadow. The police did not want to let Craig delay starting the march, despite his desire to do so. He felt certain that more people would eventually show up. Before the march began, those in the crowd were warned not to wear glasses or loose jewelry around their necks in case someone attacked them. A number of local heterosexuals had shown up to watch. How would they react? The crowd seemed nervous. Sam Agostino and his friend had brought their dogs along so that if the marchers were attacked, they could just leave the march and claim that they were out walking their dogs. Half of the gay crowd that had gathered hung back on the sidewalks, trying to decide if they should join in and step out into the street. When the march started, participants walked so quickly because of their fear of violence that later the event was jokingly referred to by some as the “first run” rather than the “first march.” But step off it did, led by a simple banner at the head of the march that read: “Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day 1970.” … Right away those marching could see that there were a lot of gay people on the sidewalks, trying to decide if it was safe to join in. Bit by bit they did. The match grew larger and larger, expanding beyond what had seemed probable or even possible. As the numbers increased, the crowd became more and more excited and spirited, inspiring still more gay people on the sidelines to join. Foster Gunnison had come up with his own scheme for calculating the crowd’s size, and as the march progressed, he dashed back and forth tracking numbers and performing computations. Finally he ran up to Craig and excitedly announced that at least two thousand people were marching. Fortunately, there was no violence, which Craig attributed in part to bewilderment on the part of heterosexual onlookers: “I think people were so shocked to see thousands of queers. At first they just can’t believe it. ‘Queers’ was that one person they saw walking their French poodle with the rhinestone collar about ten years ago….They just couldn’t deal with it. They would stand with their mouths open, a blank face.” The Village Voice recorded the astonished looks: “No one could quite believe it, eyes rolled back in heads, Sunday tourists traded incredulous looks, wondrous faces poked out of air-conditioned cars.” As various high points along the route were reached, marcher could look back and get a sense of the march’s size. Many could not believe its length. Some marchers in the middle were even more amazed when they noticed that looking in both directions they could see neither the head nor the end of the march. The GAA contingent started to chant, “Out of the closets and into the streets!” over and over. Another group chanted, “Give me a G!” “G!” “Give me an A!” “A!” “Give me a Y!” “Y!” And on until, “What do you have?” was answered with full-throated yells of “Gay power! Gay power! Gay power!” The march was fifteen blocks long by the time it hit 22nd Street … Signs included: “I am a lesbian and I am beautiful,” “Hi, Mom!,” “Smash Sexism,”“Me too” (on a dachshund), and “Homosexual is not a four-letter word.” The cathartic moment for most marchers was yet to come, however. As the marchers reached first Central Park and then the Sheep Meadow, they came to a high point by a granite outcropping that gave an almost panoramic view of the march … Franklin Kameny could hardly believe the crowd of thousands he saw in the Sheep Meadow. It had been only five years and three months since he and Jack Nichols had organized the first picket demonstration by a gay organization. On that day the ten people who participated had been worried that rocks would be thrown at them and so they had not alerted the press about their plans. It had been Kameny who had coined and propagated the phrase “Gay is good,” and in his 1968 essay with that title he had written: “I say that it is time to open the closet door and let in the fresh air and the sunshine; it is time to doff and discard the secrecy … to live your homosexuality fully, joyously, openly, and proudly, assured that morally, socially, physically, psychologically, emotionally, and in every other way: Gay is good. It is.”

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #864

first poted in facebook july 9, 2020

hernan bas -- "the sip in" (2019)

"something just always has to be a little wrong. i don’t want to make a right painting" ... hernan bas

"last year, after finishing 'sorting out andy' [...] bas searched for another lesser known yet equally important moment in gay history. he discovered 'the sip-in,' the day in 1966 when three members of the mattachine society held a sit-in, to challenge the discriminatory policies of the state liquor authority that revoked licenses of bars that served gay men and lesbians, which in turn meant bars refused to serve them. bas latched onto one photograph in particular, taken at Julius’, then a greenwich village dive that was not exclusively gay, of a bartender covering a glass of beer after the activists declared they were homosexuals (deemed 'disorderly' at the time under vague regulation) ... mitchell kuga (on hernan bas' painting "the sip in")

"on that april day in 1966, the mattachine society's president, dick leitsch, john timmons, and craig rodwell walked into julius' directly up to the bar, and proceeded to order cocktails. the bartender began to prepare the drinks, but then upon hearing the well dressed men self identify as homosexuals, put his hand over the glass, stopping short of serving the drink, which was photographed" ... mark bego

"bas rotates the composition of the photo and turns the bartender’s hand into a white glove, focusing our attention on the refusal, which hovers over the glass like an apparition. by erasing the bartender’s body, our attention turns to the men being denied, but the suits seem aloof—a common criticism of the mattachine society, an early gay right’s groups that struck many activists as being tepidly conformist. instead, the real confrontation comes from the blonde boy in red, who raises a martini glass, his cold blue stare the only direct eye contact in the frame. he’s the jack to the three will’s, or to quote clueless, a 'disco-dancing, oscar wilde-reading, streisand ticket-holding, friend of dorothy'" ... mitchell kuga

"the mattachine society utilized this incident, armed with the new york times story and photograph, to challenge the NY state liquor authority rule in court, and winning a favorable ruling that gays had the right to assemble peacefully and be served. julius’ has held the claim as new york's oldest 'gay' bar ever since. the location is prominent in the 1970 film 'boys in the band' and was a favorite haunt for tennessee williams, rudoph nureyev, truman capote, and others" ... mark bego

"hernan bas’ paintings linger between acts. 'it's not the beginning of the play and it's not the end [...] it's literally that intermission where you walk out, take a breath and say let me think about that for a minute before i go finish this.' his subjects are all male and young, embodying what he often refers to as 'fag limbo,' or that purgatory between adolescence and adulthood when 'you don't really know what's going on.' queer or not, he finds that angsty half-baked period ripe for storytelling. 'a perfect character is a boring character,' he says" ... mitchell kuga

"i have NEVER been accused of being a perfect character" ... al janik

JERMAIN DEFOE SIGNE À SUNDERLAND

En ce 16 janvier 2015, la Premier League retrouve l'une de ses icônes.

neymar dres psg Pamatujete si, když jsme

neymar dres psg Pamatujete si, když jsme si všichni mysleli, že se Jack Rodwell stane elitním záložníkem? Nebylo to ani tak dávno. Vstoupil na scénu s Evertonem během kampaně 2008-09 – poté, co se párkrát objevil v předchozí sezóně. - a brzy se etabloval jako klíčový člen týmu Toffees. V březnu 2010 Phil Jagielka naklonil svého spoluhráče z Evertonu, aby vyzrál na útočného záložníka ve stylu Stevena Gerrarda, a upřímně řečeno, tato předpověď se v té době zdála naprosto rozumná.

Rodwell měl všechny nástroje potřebné k tomu, aby se stal špičkovým středním záložníkem: sílu, tempo a techniku, přičemž jeho postoj se také zdál být na místě. Zlomový bod pro Rodwellovu kariéru však nastal v srpnu 2012, kdy souhlasil s přestupem do Manchesteru City za £. Dohoda na 12 milionů.Rodwell propadl v CityVe dvou sezónách na Etihad Stadium odehrál Rodwell jen 25 zápasů za City a vstřelil dva góly. Řada předčasných zranění také bránila Rodwellovu rozvoji a jen o dvě sezóny později zjistil, že podepsal smlouvu s Sunderlandem. vyplatil 10 milionů liber za své služby a zaplatil mu přitom skvělých 70 000 liber za týden.

Rodwell byl bodnut poté, co přišel o místo v anglickém týmu na finále Světového poháru 2014 v Brazílii a věděl, že musí opustit City, aby se jeho kariéra vrátila na správnou cestu. Jeho kariéra v Sunderlandu byla bohužel také zklamáním, bohužel, když se přidal Černé kočky nedosáhly požadovaného efektu. Levné Dětské Fotbalové Dresy Rodwellova reputace zaznamenala v posledních několika sezónách velkolepý propad a během té doby nebyl blízko k odvolání z Anglie.
