The actor Matthew Perry, who has been found dead at his home aged 54, brought a wry sense of humour to the role of Chandler Bing in Friends, the American sitcom featuring six twentysomethings in Manhattan facing the ups and down of everyday life.
“Chandler’s a guy who’s just not comfortable in his own skin – he’s got a great excuse to be funny,” said Perry of the sarcastic, neurotic character in the programme that ran from 1994 to 2004. “He’s an exaggerated form of me.”
The neurosis partly came from Chandler experiencing the divorce of his parents when he was nine and using humour as a defence mechanism. It echoed Perry’s own life, with his mother and father splitting up by his first birthday.
Through his work in “statistical analysis and data reconfiguration”, the character pulled in more money than the other friends – Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courteney Cox), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Ross (David Schwimmer) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) – although he hated his job.
Chandler had already met Monica Geller at college before they became neighbours in Greenwich Village, where he shared an apartment with Joey. By the end of the fourth series, the relationship had gone from being close friends to lovers and, three years later, they were husband and wife. Unable to have children of their own, they adopted twins, with their birth as a central storyline, alongside Ross and Rachel reuniting, in Friends’ final episode, which attracted more than 50 million viewers in the US.
By then, the programme’s impact on popular culture had spread well beyond its homeland. Joey’s “How ya doin’?” and Chandler’s “Could I be any more …” broke into the language of its young audience. The part earned Perry worldwide fame that continues with Netflix bringing the sitcom to a new generation.
Nevertheless, stardom did nothing to help the actor to overcome his own vulnerabilities. In 1997, Aniston said: “His feelings get hurt. He cares what people think. He even bruises easily.”
Perry’s battles with his personal demons first hit the headlines halfway through the sitcom’s run. In his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry recalled a journey to alcoholism that went from beer and wine at 14 to drinking vodka by the quart, as well as getting addicted to prescription drugs.
In 1997, he checked into a Minnesota rehab clinic for 28 days when he became hooked on a painkiller and appetite suppressant after a jet-ski accident and a 35lb weight loss. Three years later, he was hospitalised with pancreatitis. In 2001, he abruptly left the set of the film Serving Sara (released the following year) to go into rehab again.
Perry reflected that by 2018, at the age of 49, he had spent more than half his life in treatment centres. That year he suffered pneumonia and an exploded colon caused by opiod overuse, resulting in time on life support and two weeks in a coma.
He converted his Malibu home into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, Perry House, in 2013, but closed it two years later, citing expensive running costs.
He had been drug and alcohol-free for 18 months before the screening in 2021 of Friends: The Reunion, a one-off special bringing back together the programme’s six stars.
Born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Matthew was the son of Suzanne (nee Langford, later Morrison), a Canadian journalist, and John Bennett Perry, an American actor. He grew up mainly in Ottawa when his mother returned to her home country and eventually became press secretary to the then prime minister, Pierre Trudeau. In 2017, Perry revealed that he and another pupil at Rockcliffe Park elementary school had beaten up Justin Trudeau, Pierre’s son and current Canadian premier. Trudeau responded on Twitter (now X): “I’ve been giving it some thought, and you know what, who hasn’t wanted to punch Chandler? How about a rematch @MatthewPerry?”
While studying at Ashbury college, Perry became a top-ranking junior tennis player. He practised up to 10 hours a day, but switched that determination to acting after travelling to Los Angeles when he was 15 and being reunited with his father. “I wanted to be famous so badly,” he told the New York Times in 2002. “You want the attention, you want the bucks, and you want the best seat in the restaurant.”
He made an impression with leading roles in sitcoms: Chazz Russell in Second Chance (1987), retitled Boys Will Be Boys for its second series in 1988, Billy Kells in Sydney (1990) and Matt Bailey in Home Free (1993) before Friends came along.
Perry’s big-screen debut came as River Phoenix’s best friend in A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), but he never became the film star he hoped to be despite appearances in Fools Rush In (1997), Three to Tango (1999), The Whole Nine Yards (2000) and its sequel, The Whole Ten Yards (2003), both alongside Bruce Willis.
He stuck with television. Switching to drama, he had a short run as Joe Quincy, a Republican lawyer, in The West Wing in 2003, and starred in another Aaron Sorkin series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006-07). His own sitcom idea, Mr Sunshine, with him playing Ben Donovan, a San Diego arena operations manager, was dropped after a short run in 2011. The following year he starred as Ryan King, a sportscaster, in Go On and later played Oscar Madison in a revival of The Odd Couple (2015-17). He also wrote and starred in the play The End of Longing, which debuted in London’s West End in 2016.
He had relationships with many high-profile actors including Julia Roberts, Minnie Driver and Lizzy Caplan. From 2020 to 2021, he was engaged to Molly Hurwitz, a talent manager.
His parents survive him.

NAME: Kai Lei GENDER & PRONOUNS: Cis man / He/Him AGE & DATE OF BIRTH: 35 years old / August 29th HOMETOWN: Greenwich, CT TIME IN WESTERLY: 5 years RESIDENCE: Downtown OCCUPATION: Research scientist, part-time tutor
HELP ME HOLD ONTO YOU, I’VE BEEN      ——      the archer.
Trigger Warnings: Parental abuse, divorce
There’s a particular kind of cruelty in leaving a life behind. However, what would’ve been crueler is making Kai stay in that fucking place. Kai’s life didn’t really begin until he was able to get out from under the weight of his father’s stare and ambitions. Kai Lei grew up in a household that was never made for kids. Beyond his father’s tireless and incredibly heavy expectations, the alcohol that drip, drip, dripped down his father’s throat was enough for a whole bar. But he was the only parent that Kai had left after his mother left them when his father was too much to bear. His little sister and brother thankfully had Kai who looked after them and kept them from the brunt of their father. As he got older, he forced his father into treatment, getting him clean headed and facing whatever demons made him want Kai to be perfect. Once his siblings were in a better place and he was old enough to leave that town, that house, he ran— ran as far away as he could.
Across the country, his father couldn’t touch him. He couldn’t force him to practice and study like his life literally depended on it. He didn’t have to go to the college that his father did. He didn’t even have to go to college at all. However, he ended up wanting to after dead end jobs lost their novelty of having money of his own. Kai enrolled himself in community college before transferring to a university. He started off on the track to becoming a doctor. Then he was a math major. Then he was a business major. By the end of it, Kai realized he just wanted to learn. He would spend his whole life in school if he could. After graduating with a double major in Biology and Human Genetics, finally settling on one thing, he moved on to grad school. That’s where he met the woman that would be his wife. They married quickly, never really thinking about what they were getting into. And that would be the death of them.
He wasn’t ready to be a good husband and maybe that was her mistake but his mistake was letting her believe he would change. He’d always focused on himself more than anyone else. He was harsh, using his intellect against people, as if he were better than them. Kai’s words were sharp like a knife, cutting her at every turn. She’d always been soft where he was harsh. She was naive and he was the evil-doer— the one that made her lose herself. She’d told him time and time again that something had to give, that she wasn’t happy and that there was nothing left for them. Try as he might, he couldn’t change. Instead, all he could think about was that this might’ve been the same shit that his mother put up with before she left her three kids with the drunk, ambitious man he’d dealt with his entire life. So he ran from the marriage, he ran from her, and he moved his shit to Westerly for a new job.
It’s been a few years since he’d settled down in Westerly and since then, he’s been letting his success speak for itself. It was the best revenge he could muster up for his dad— being everything he hadn’t been. Hell, he was everything his father pushed him to be. And even if he didn’t quite hit a home run in the love department, maybe he was better off alone, warding off those that wanted to know him. A few years older, maybe a bit wiser but definitely smarter.

[“When Elaine was hired at the Nook, they learned about her arrest and demanded she produce a clean bill of health. Not only did Elaine not have a health certificate to show, worse, her symptoms had returned. Desperate, she wrote to the WPA and explained that she was “doctoring it with potassium permanganate ‘internal baths,’ drinking no coffee, tea or alcoholic liquors; leaving salt, pepper, and spices alone; [and] drinking quarts of milk and water.” Pitifully, she ended the letter, “I don’t know what else to do.”
Of course, she had no access to or money for a doctor. Douching with potassium permanganate was a common treatment for venereal disease, despite the fact that it was toxic when taken intravaginally, causing “acute gastroenteritis” and in extreme cases “circulatory collapse.” But it was no worse than the drugs that doctors generally prescribed, which ran the toxic gamut from arsenic to mercury. The first real treatment for gonorrhea would arrive with the sulfa class of drugs, which were tested (nonconsensually) on incarcerated prostitutes at the House of D, starting in 1938—too late to help Elaine.
The WPA recommended Elaine return to New York and get tested, which she did. On May 13, 1935, she tested positive for gonorrhea again. That was the end of her summer dreams—her waitress gig at the Nook had come with a small room, and without that, Elaine could no longer afford to play country bohemian with the richer denizens of Greenwich Village. Instead, the WPA arranged for Elaine to be sent to Inwood House, which was like a homeless shelter where women with sexually transmissible infections were kept until cured. Elaine disliked the place from the very beginning, particularly the curfew, and disappeared her first night there. She spent one night on the floor of La Violette’s room, and the next she tried to sleep in the New York Times building in Midtown (where her friend Alice had once given her a tour). When that didn’t work, she joined the other street girls who slept rough in Bryant Park, and for a few weeks, she disappeared.
If Elaine had only lasted one night at Inwood House, she would have discovered the next day that there had been a mistake: her test was clean; she never had gonorrhea, and she was free to return to Woodstock to pursue her dreams of being an artist’s assistant (and eventually, she hoped, an artist herself). Instead, she ended up on the doorstep of a man she had briefly dated, whom she described as “bi-sexual” and “look[ing] like a rugged sailor edition of Rudy Vallee.” When she discovered he had inherited some $4,000, she made the spur of the moment decision to accept his marriage proposal. By July, they had left New York, and it was only via Elaine’s friend Alice that the WPA learned the pair ended up in Los Angeles.”]

I decided to do a big post about all the research I did for A Spell of Riot, so here it is. Also, FREE BOOKS. Slide into my DMs if you’re interested. 
1. Alcoholics Anonymous (The Big Book)
Basically all of the AA stuff. This is free on the web too, I don’t know why I bought it. I guess that’s how much I like reading actual books. The first part is history/explanation of how the program works and the second half is testimonials from members. Very insightful on the actual process of recovery
2. How Al-Anon Works for Family and Friends of Alcoholics
I probably should have read this years ago because it explains pretty much everything about my unhealthy relationship patterns but better late than never I guess. This was super helpful and informative for how to portray the complexity of Dick’s role in Lew’s alcoholism and his own healing process
3. The Lost Weekend (Charles Jackson)
This stunning novel, written in 1944, is what kicked off my interest in exploring this topic to begin with. It’s an absolutely harrowing tale of addiction, based almost entirely on the author’s own experience with alcoholism (he also happens to be homosexual, and the novel explores the contemporary theories linking the two “afflictions”). I was blown away by this book and fell a little in love with Jackson, whom I’d never even heard of before I started looking around for addiction memoirs. I highly HIGHLY recommend it; really captures mid-century American anxieties about sexuality, relationships, family, etc.
4. Farther & Wilder: The Lost Weekends and Literary Dreams of Charles Jackson (Blake Bailey)
You know I said I fell a little in love with Jackson? I was so fascinated after The Lost Weekend that I immediately read this biography. It was useful for the story too; I got more alcoholism/AA info (Jackson was an active member of AA on and off for the rest of his life) and the thing about Lew asking Dick for Seconal (he used it to give him the energy/motivation to write).
5. The Minnesota Model (Jerry Spicer)
I read this one pretty early on too when I was just starting to wrap my head around what form this story might take. It’s pretty amazing that until around 1950, if you were an alcoholic your “treatment” (if you could call it that) options were jail or a locked ward. Most doctors wouldn’t treat alcoholics because they thought of them as hopeless cases. The three programs opened in Minnesota around this time period (of which Hazelden, where Lew goes, was the one geared toward “the professional class”) were the first to recognize alcoholism as a disease and use a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment.
6. The History of Gay People in Alcoholics Anonymous (Audrey Borden)
The title pretty much says it all. Absolutely indispensable for understanding the homophobia experienced by many people in the early(ish) days of AA, the first gay AA groups, and the gay origins of the Third Tradition. I leaned heavily on this for Lew’s doubts about whether he really belongs and a ton of the Ch. 6 details with him getting kicked out of his home group and finding the Greenwich Village group through the gay press, such as it was.
7. Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption (William Cope Moyers)
Moyers went to Hazelden in the 80s but his memoir includes some good details about what daily life was like there and how the treatment process is structured that I figured wouldn’t seem all that crazy to transpose onto 1955. He also describes what the original farmhouse looked like, which was awesome. Beyond that, it’s just a very human story of addiction and recovery that expanded my understanding of the personal hell Lew would be going through. I also borrowed the beverage cart detail in Ch. 4 from a story Moyers tells about his flight to Hazelden.
8. Secret Historian (Justin Spring)
I read this biography of Sam Steward hoping for some good period info about being a gay alcoholic in AA but that part was way WAY less interesting than all the other fascinating details of Steward’s life (professor, writer of gay erotica, tattoo artist, meticulous documenter of sexual experiences, major contributor to Dr. Kinsey’s work, provider of oral sex to Rudolph freaking Valentino), which I won’t go into here, but look it up if you want to read about one of the most interesting people of the 20th century.
9. Not God: A History of Alcoholics Anonymous (Ernest Kurtz)
Okay, full disclosure, I only read about a third of this, hoping for more insight on the early days of AA but honestly, I got everything I needed from the other books so… moving along
10. Sex in Recovery (Jennifer Matesa)
Again, the title pretty much says it all. I was very concerned about the toll alcoholism would take on their sex life and wanted to describe authentically what it would be like for them to try work on that part of the recovery too. Basically any of the sex scenes were inspired/informed by the stories and topics explored in this book.
11. Love on the Rocks: Men, Women, and Alcohol in Post WWII America (Lori Rostkoff)
This was probably the most useful of all the books I read for the socio-cultural perspectives on alcoholism during the time period. Especially because it takes gender as its lens, there was some particularly insightful stuff about masculinity and sexuality, as well as alcoholism among veterans. REALLY loved this one.

Any workout – from professional to amateur – exhausts the body. Exercise causes muscle fatigue, while also causing a buildup of free radicals. IV vitamin therapy wipes these away and restores hydration and nutrients.
Athletic recovery benefits:
·         Amino acids decrease muscle loss and improve metabolism
·         Instant hydration and nutrient delivery help athletes recover at a much faster rate, meaning performance improves as well
Rapid Hangover Relief :
Alcohol dehydrates you and depletes your body of nutrients in the process. This shrinks tissue, particularly in the brain, which causes headaches and muscle aches. The liver also generates toxins, adding to your hangover discomfort. IV therapy combats these hangover symptoms.
Hangover relief benefits:
·         Hydration through saline solution alongside anti-inflammatory ingredients quickly relieves pain
·         Hydration helps mitigate headaches and urinary and kidney problems, which are side effects of hangovers
·         Toradol, a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine, helps rapidly combats pain
Enhanced Beauty
Beauty begins on the inside. Unlike topical treatments, IV vitamin therapy delivers antioxidants directly to the body and cleanses cells of free radicals that contribute to aging and tissue damage.
Enhanced beauty benefits:
·         B-complex vitamins are beneficial for hair and nail health
·         Vitamin C is vital for healthy, youthful, radiant skin because it helps boost collagen production, which promotes firmer and clearer skin
·         Glutathione is one of the most efficient antioxidants to help fight the physiological symptoms of aging and oxidative stress

Jane Bowles
Tumblr media
Wikipedia - "Jane Bowles (February 22, 1917 – May 4, 1973) was an American writer and playwright. Born into a Jewish family in New York City on February 22, 1917, to Sydney Auer (father) and Claire Stajer (mother), Jane Bowles spent her childhood in Woodmere, New York, on Long Island.  She developed tuberculous arthritis of the knee as a teenager, and her mother took her to Switzerland for treatment, where she attended boarding school. At this point in her life, she developed a passion for literature coupled with insecurities. As a teenager she returned to New York, where she gravitated to the intellectual bohemia of Greenwich Village. She married composer and writer Paul Bowles in 1938. The location of the honeymoon inspired the setting for her novel Two Serious Ladies. Bowles had a rich love life. In 1937, she met Paul Bowles and in following year (1938), they were married and went to a honeymoon in Central America. She visited lesbian bars while they traveled together in Paris. ... Bowles, who was an alcoholic, suffered a stroke in 1957 at age 40. ..."

Chapter Twenty-Eight : STONEWALL
Tumblr media
50 years to this day. I was really looking forward to this one. (breathe) (breathe again) (keep breathing). With three articles left, we’ve come to the most important of them all. Think of it as Game of Thrones’s 9th episode of the season. Today, we’re talking about America in the 60s, how the Stonewall Inn became the set of such remarkable events and what the Riots of 1969 have left of as a legacy (Spoiler : close to everything).
GETTING RID OF THOSE FAGS : 60s EDITION
Tumblr media
The end of the Second World War saw a need for the American population to “restore the prewar social order and hold off the forces of change”. Now, let’s make it clear. Homosexuals were not a welcome bunch before the war. But starting with the 50s, their life became considerably more difficult. A witch hunt of Anarchists, Communists and Homosexuals started. With the creation of a list of known homosexuals by the U.S. State Department and the F.B.I, came the firing of thousands of government employees either homosexuals or under the suspicion of sodomy. No pity. In a 1950 report, an investigation from the Senate noted “it is generally believed that those who engage in overt acts of perversion lack the emotional stability of normal persons” and “sex perverts in Government constitute security risks”. The 60s saw a rise in the homosexual population in NYC. More and more young queers would run away (of be thrown out) from home and take refuge in an up-and-coming neighborhood, Greenwich Village. The risks were heavy (frequent raids of bars and cops all over the streets ready to arrest you for less than nothing) but at least, for the first time ever, homosexuals were able to meet and discover what would soon become a community. In David Carter’s book Stonewall, it is said “it has often been pointed out that no specific statute outlawed being homosexual, that only homosexual acts were illegal. While this is technically true, the effect of the entire body of laws and policies that the state employed to police the conduct of homosexual men and women was to make being gay de facto a crime”.
Tumblr media
By 1961, American laws reprimanding homosexuals were harsher than those in Cuba, Russia or East Germany. If you were to have sex with another adult of the same gender in the privacy of your home and got caught, you could get anything between a light fine to life in prison. Loitering in public toilet became a new law, just as laws concerning “sex psychopaths” in at least 20 states. Sentences on sodomy were harshened while professional licenses could be revoked on the basis of your sexuality, making it impossible to survive.
It would be a mistake to think that no attempt at organizing and change laws were made until that fateful night of 1969. Many protests that preceded the Gay Rights movement were made starting in Los Angeles in 1959. Between 1964 and 1968, numerous protests were held in L.A, New York City, San Francisco, Philadelphia. Some were organized, some were not.
Tumblr media
Several amazing activists like Dick Leitsch (1935–2018) and Craig Rodwell (1940–1993) were pioneers in smart marketing actions and counter attacking the Police. Leitsch was instrumental in stopping the automatic shut down of bars and clubs that would serve known homosexuals and in ending the campaign of police entrapment while Rodwell opened in 1967 the first openly gay bookstore, the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop and is considered by some as the leading gay rights activist of the early 60s. I digress, I know. There’s so much to talk about.
Tumblr media
ANYWAY, organizations like One, Inc and the Mattachine Society (initially created by a communist activist in 1950, so you can see how easy  the link between chasing communists and homosexuals was made back then) were more and more vocal about the treatment of their kind by the government. BUT only in big cities and only in very small and peaceful gatherings of people. Not powerful enough. Queer people were too scare to organize fully, and I kind of get it. If you were too feminine to pass for a heterosexual, you would end up on the streets, selling your body for a penny. If you were discovered with another man, your life was ruined. Frequent raids in homosexual clubs by incognito cops (who would sometimes go as far as exposing themselves to lure you into an inappropriate situation) were not appealing to the masses.
“Thankfully”, the social repression of the post-war climate resulted in a cultural revolution in Greenwich Village. Beat generation poets like Ginsberg and Burroughs (who were not hiding their sexualities) moved there. Their personalities and writings attracted liberal-minded people to the neighborhood, giving more space to the slowly-forming gay community. Interestingly enough, none of the bars frequented by gay men and lesbians in the Village were owned by gay people. Most of them were controlled by organized crime. Those places were terrible, with poor treatment of clientele and watered-down drinks but the mafia was paying off the police so gays kept coming back.
Tumblr media
The Stonewall Inn, located at 51 and 53 Christopher Street, was owned by the Genovese crime family, because of the interest of the son of one of the important mafioso, called Fat Tony, for gay businesses and the exploitation of this minority. Originally a regular straight bar in ruins, it was turned into a gay establishment in 1966. The Stonewall Inn had no liquor licenses, but that didn’t keep the drinks from being poured. It was the only gar bar in New York City where dancing was allowed but otherwise, this bar was a shit show.
All the bribes didn’t keep police raids away — just averaging them to once a month. During a typical raid (that the owners knew in advance due to police tip-offs), the lights were turned on, the customers were lined up and their ID cards checked. Those without IDs and dressed in women’s clothes were arrested while the rest of them would be left alone. The police would leave and the party would continue. The short period before June 1969 saw an increase of raids and the closing of the Checkerboard, the Tele-Star and two other clubs in Greenwich Village.
JUNE 28th, 1969
Tumblr media
On the night of Friday, June 27th to Saturday, June 28th, 1969, revolution began. You also have to remember that the events that occurred that night divert from one person to another and we might never completely know how it truly went down, here’s two things everyone who had been at the Stonewall Inn that night could agree on : what happened had happened fast and it had been entirely spontaneous.
At 1:20 am, four plainclothes policemen in dark suits, two patrol officers in uniform, a detective and a deputy arrived at the Stonewall Inn’s and announced “Police! We’re taking the place!”. Four undercover police officers had entered the bar earlier to gather evidence of immoral evidence and the Public Moral Squad was waited outside for their signal. The music was turned off and the lights were turned on. 205 patrons were inside the bar that night. A few that understood what was happening started to run for doors and windows in the bathrooms, but the police kept them inside. The raid turned badly from the start. Clients dressed as women refused to follow female officers to the bathroom so that they could verify their gender identity (the procedure at the time. Yeah.) and many refused to produce their identifications.
The police decided to take everyone who did not cooperate to the police station AND take the bar’s alcohol in the process. Fortunately, the patrol wagons had not yet arrived and the arrested clients were told to wait in line for about 15 minutes. Those free to go were told to leave by the front door but this time, they did not run away. They stayed outside the bar as a crowd began to grown and watch. By the time the time the first wagon arrived, the crowd was ten times the number of people arrested. The first to be put in wagons were the mafia owners and that did not create any anger inside the crowd. Edmund White, who was passing by, recalled “Everyone’s restless, angry and high-spirited. No one has a slogan, no one even had an attitude, but something’s brewing”.
Tumblr media
A transvestite was shoved by a police officer while getting escorted to a wagon and responded with hitting him with her purse. A lesbian in handcuffs, identified as Stormé DeLarverie, escaped repeatedly, fought with four police officers and screamed at the crowd “Why don’t you do something ?” before being hit on the head with a baton. Rumors of some patrons still stuck inside the Stonewall Inn being beaten and lesbian being molested started to spread around the 150–200 people around the bar. The crowd became a mob and “it was at that moment that the scene became explosive”.
Tumblr media
I used this expression way too many times this past month but it’s never been more appropriate now : SHIT JUST HIT THE FAN. The police became overwhelmed by the response of the bystanders, knocking a few people down in panic, which gave more rage to the crowd. Those handcuffed in the back of the wagons were left unattended, which allowed some of them to escape. Two of the police cars left immediately when they saw the angry mob trying to overturn the police wagon, creating even more panic for those police officers left. Coins sailed through the air towards the police as the crowd shouted “Pigs!” and “Faggot Cops!” — remember, it might not all be 100% accurate but DAMN. By that time, at least 500 people were kicking the shit out of the police force, throwing beer cans and screaming at the top of their lungs. The police retaliated with everything that they had, forcing some to found shelter near a construction site. nevertheless, it wasn’t enough. 10 police officers barricaded themselves inside the Stonewall Inn, taking with them several detainees with them for their own “safety”. Garbage cans, bottles, rocks and bricks were thrown at the building, breaking the windows.
Tumblr media
And now a quick flashback to yesterday’s articles. I told you that Marsha P. Johnson was known to had thrown the first brick at Stonewall, starting the Gay Rights Movement in the process ? Well, it’s a great story and it suits Marsha but it ain’t true. Johnson, though designated by many as one of the three individuals to have started the pushback, said herself in 1987 that she had arrived at around 2:00 am after hearing about the riots and informing her friend Sylvia Rivera and that the riots had already started. Nevertheless, someone reported that Marsha threw a shot glass at a mirror in the torched bar (Oops, spoilers) screaming “I got my civil rights!” and it became famous as “the shot glass that as heard around the world”. Well, almost definitely a legend.
Back to our regular broadcast.
Tumblr media
The mob spirit was at full speed. Parking meters were uprooted from the streets and used to kick the doors in. They lit garbage on fire and stuffed it through the broken windows. The police grabbed a fire hose but break the crowd but the water pressure was low and it did nothing but encourage the people to go harder on them. When the demonstrators broke through the windows and the door flew open, the police officers pointed their weapons at them, threatening to shoot. Someone squirted lighter fluid into the bar and lit it. 45 minutes had passed since the beginning of the raid. That’s when the fire trucks AND the Tactical Patrol Force (TPF) arrived at the scene to free the police officers trapped inside the Inn. One passerby said “I had been in enough riots to know the fun was over… The cops were totally humiliated. This never, ever happened. They were angrier than I guess they had ever been, because everybody else has rioted… but the fairies were not supposed to riot. No group had ever forced to retreat before, so the anger was just enormous. I mean, they wanted to kill.” The TPF formed rectangular mass formation, marched slowly and started to push the crowd back. The mob openly mocked the police. Some were singing :
We are the Stonewall Girls We wear our hair in curls We don’t wear underwear We show our public hair
As the line got into a full kick routine, the police rushed in a cleared the crowd. One account said “I just can’t ever get that one sight out of my mind. The corps with nightsticks and the kick line on the other side. It was the most amazing thing (…) I think that’s when I felt rage. Because people were getting smashed with bats. And for what ? A Kick line”.
Tumblr media
Participants were chased through the street by police (as they were in bigger numbers, it was easier for them). But do not think the mob got overpowered by the pigs. Oh no. They kept on running and coming back to the Stonewall area and started overturning police cars that were blocking the streets. To some reports, it was the crowd that was screaming “Catch Them!” to the police officers running away. It took until 4 am for the streets to be cleared out. Thirteen people in total had been arrested. Some were hospitalized, and four police officers were injured in the fight. The Stonewall Inn was destroyed. Pay phones, toilets, mirrors, jukeboxes. All smashed. By the morning hour, the feeling of electricity and rebellion was still in the air. This was not over.
ROUND TWO
Tumblr media
News of the riot were quickly known to all, inside and outside Greenwich Village. The New York Times, the New York Post and the Daily News all covered the events during the night, with the latter putting it on its front page. All day, people came to take a look at the Stonewall Inn or what was left of it. Graffitis were written on the walls. “The invaded our rights”, “Legalize gay bars”, “Support Gay power”, “Drag power” and… “We are open”. 
Tumblr media
That very night, it all happened again. Opinions differ on which night was more violent but the attitude was different. A form of structural unison was present, and the demonstrators — most of those from the previous night — were showing their true selves openly for the first time. Hugging, kissing, holding hands. “We were just out. We were on the streets” said one witness. Thousands of people gathered in front of the Stonewall before being dispatched all around the neighborhood to keep police force to intervene. They surrounded buses and cars, harassing occupants to either admit their homosexuality or their allegiance to the gay cause. 
Marsha P. Johnson (yes, and this time, it’s more solid information) climbed a lamp post and dropped a heavy bag onto the hood of a police car, shattering the windshield. Fires were once again started in garbage cans. More than a hundred police officers were trying to contain the situation and little after 2 am, the TPF showed their faces again. For the next two hours, war was upon Christopher Street and its surrounding blocks. Demonstrators were arrested, with their companions fighting back to free them. Dozens of people were hurt and bled heavily from baton kicks. At 4 am, it was over.
Tumblr media
When recalling the events, Allen Ginsburg said to a friend “you know, the guys there were so beautiful. They’ve lost that wounded look that fags all had 10 years ago”.
AFTERMATH
Tumblr media
At the annual picketing in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia (organized by the Mattachine Society) on July 4th, there was some sense that things were changing. People who felt oppressed now felt empowered. Many, moved by the two nights of rebellious spirit, started attending organizational meetings, with the intent to take advantage of the opportunity for the better. But not everyone in the not-so-community was happy about what happened on Christopher Street. Older homosexuals, many members of the Mattachine Society, were embarrassed by the display of violence and effeminate behavior during those nights, as they tried for years to convince the general population that homosexuals were no different to heterosexuals. Early homophile activist Randy Wicker said “screaming queens forming chorus lines and kicking went against everything that I wanted people to think about homosexuals… that we were a bunch of drag queens in the Village acting disorderly and tacky and cheap”. Anyway. Rodwell (remember him ?) left the July 4th demonstration with a strong determination to change the established ways to get attention. All that led the creation of the Gay Liberation Front and the Christopher Street Liberation Day AKA the first pride — but that’s a story for tomorrow.
Tumblr media
As for the Stonewall Inn ? By October 1969, it was up for rent. Rodwell’s boycott and the too-notorious riots discouraged business from interfering. Another Stonewall Inn was opened in Miami in 1972 under the same management but burned down two years later. The original Stonewall Inn was eventually leased as two separate spaces to a number of different businesses over the years. The historic vertical sign was removed in 1989 after the closure of the a two-year-life bar. Someone leased the place again with a new name but a year later came back to the original name.
Since 2006, Stonewall Inn has been owned and operated by the same person. It has been listed as a National Historic Landmark in the early 2000s and on June 24th, 2016, the Stonewall National Monument, which is directly across the street from the Stonewall Inn, was put together as the first U.S. National Monument dedicated to the Queer Rights Movement. And just so you know, I bursted crying about 6 times since I’ve started the article. This one’s the hardest.
Tumblr media
WHAT NOW ?
Tumblr media
First of all, do not watch the biopics about Stonewall (there’s two, and I’m not even gonna name them or their release dates because they’re horrible. Everybody’s white, no transgender people anywhere, it’s shit, shit, SHIT). Go read the overly-detailed book by David Carter named Stonewall (duh) or watch the documentary that followed called Stonewall Uprising if you want to know more that my mere 3,000+ words.
Second… Well, everything talked about in my previous articles comes directly from that life-changing night of June 28th, 1969. And so much more.
I get to have a boyfriend, to openly say that I’m queer, to write Queer articles about our struggles to at least a dozen people, struggles and beauty.
That’s all because of what happened at Stonewall Inn. Landmarks are not my thing. I do not care about buildings. When Notre-Dame burned, I was like “well, that’s too bad”. If the Tour Eiffel was to disappear, I wouldn’t cry over it. That’s because I have no emotional attachment to those kinds of things. Surprisingly, I do feel an attachment to 51–53 Christopher Street, although I’ve never been there. I don’t believe in ghosts and every time I think of this place, I feel surrounded by the spirits (alive or dead) of the only queer ancestors that we have. Because our History has been erased time after time after time. To the world, we’ve been nothing. A error of judgement from a god that doesn’t exist. Not after June 28th, 1969. 50 years ago, some homeless queers and good-for-nothing drag queens and ignored black trans women impacted our world so much that from this day on, we couldn’t be ignored.
Tumblr media
I feel immense gratitude towards those people. That’s why I always ask Queer people I met if they know about Stonewall. Most of them in France do not. Well, they should. This article might give you a general idea of what happened but I truly invite you to go look further for yourself.
We, as Queer people, need our History to be remembered. And to make it official, it started at Stonewall.
Tumblr media
PS the cover photo is the ONLY picture from that night. It shows Queer homeless youth trying to resist police force. The rest of the picture were taken from other nights of protests. Just so you know.

FEBRUARY 22: Jane Bowles (1917-1973)
"I'm Jewish, homosexual, alcoholic, a communist -- and I'm a cripple!" is how Jane Bowles once allegedly described herself. Never one to live on the sidelines, Bowles became a legendary figure in the American expat and literary circles of the early 20th century.
Tumblr media
Jane and Paul Bowles, via Flavorwire
She was born a hundred years ago exactly, in New York, to Jewish parents. Her teenage years were marked by tuberculous arthritis in her knees which led to her mother taking her to Switzerland so that she could get treatment. There, while going to boarding school, she developed a profound interest in literature, which she continued to have after her return to NYC and her introduction to the bohemian life of Greenwich Village, where she frequented all the lesbian bars and dressed in men’s clothing.
In 1938, she married fellow writer Paul Bowles, but this did absolutely not deter her from continuing to go to all the lesbians bars in Paris anytime the couple traveled to France. Paul and Jane were both bi, and most of their sexuality happened outside of their marriage. They traveled extensively together. Her later years were marked by a stroke at the age of 40, and from there on general ill health and alcoholism, as well as a permanent split from her husband.
Jane Bowles’s legacy tends to be erased in favor of her husband’s but still: a biography of Jane, A Little Original Sin, was written by Millicent Dillon in 1981. John Ashbery called her “one of the finest modern writers of fiction in any language” and Tennessee Williams thought she was tremendously underrated. In Paul Bowles’s 1949 novel, The Sheltering Sky, the Moresby couple is heavily based on Paul and Jane; the movie adaptation had Debra Winger play this version of Jane/Kit. Documents related to Bowles can be found here and here. She wrote one novel, one play, and a little over a dozen short stories. Her letters were published in a book, and you can read one here (incidentally the same one that was quoted in Chris Kraus’s I Love Dick).
