God, reading about and listening to podcasts about queer history it's disappointing to see that people have been infighting about the same shit for years
#Harry Hay and the others had the right idea when they formed the Mattachine Society
#but of course the conservative assimilation gays got into and drove him out
#beacause Hay was trying to spread the word about queer history and the very real culture that was there
#and the conservatives were saying 'oh no we're just like straight people! we have to dress and act straight!'
#'also we can't have any communist links cus the lavender scare! even though the communist party doesn’t like gays either!'
#anyways Harry eventually embraced his femme side and founded the radical faeries
#(Michael and Emmet attend a gathering in queer as folk and it's cool af)
#but yeah Mattachine was cool but it died for a reason
#and got all but replaced by the Gay Liberation Front post Stonewall
#the podcast is Queer Serial btw
#there was a really fascinating episode with a radio interview of three self described transexual women and a cop
#who was actually trying to help and promote their cause
#(very rare)
#but my god it's sad how relevant it still is today
