A short history about the Stonewall Riots, the beginning of Gay Pride

Since we’re celebrating Pride the old-fashioned way this year. Written in 2015 for my US History final.

The Stonewall Riots are arguably the start of the Gay Rights movement. There were gay groups previous to that June evening, even raids that the community protested, but none came close to the energy, length, and legacy the Stonewall Riots had.

One of the previous raids was years earlier, across the country. A San Francisco group ‘Religion and the Homosexual’ booked a hall for a New Year’s dance as 1964 became ‘65, but when attendees arrived they found police and cameras. Still, they entered the hall. Though police had been forbidden from entering the hall and harassing the dancers, they continued to make up reasons to do so. The group pressed charges and the case was not thrown out of court, but the police officers were reprimanded and the homosexuals were allowed to go free. (Duberman, 1994, pp. 99 – 100) (Carter, 2005, p. 105)

The Stonewall Inn was an illegal Mafia-run gay bar with a ‘bottle club’ front. The Mafia ran most, if not all, gay bars in New York City. While the entry fee to the Stonewall was cheap, only $3, the drinks were watered down and overpriced. This was well-known to the customers, and fueled their frustration. (Duberman, 1994, pp. 181) The Mafia would pay off the police of the Sixth Precinct to protect themselves somewhat from raids, earning themselves a warning before raids, which only came approximately once a month, and at off-peak hours so as not to interfere with business too much. (Carter, 2005, p. 82-83) The Mafia paid the Sixth Precinct $1,200 monthly. (Carter, 2005, p. 79)

Stonewall was well-known in the gay community for allowing close dancing, many other gay bars would not allow their customers to dance closely with each other. (Carter, 2005, p. 71) It was also one of the few bars that would let in homeless gay youth, drag queens, those the other gay bars would turn away. (Carter, 2005, p. 77) (Carter, 2005, p. 84) Many gay bars painted the windows black for privacy, the Stonewall also put up plywood behind the windows and got a reinforced door to defend against police raids.

The evening of Friday June 27 1969, Deputy Inspector Seymour Pine wanted to hit the Stonewall hard, hoping to shut it down for good. Many times an illegal bar would be raided, the employees arrested, and the bar back open hours later. (Carter, 2005, p. 131) The Stonewall had not had any warning about this raid, and they had been raided, along with many other gay bars, earlier the same week. DI Pine sent in undercover policewomen early, and he and the Sixth Precinct entered the bar at 1 AM Saturday morning. Everyone in the bar was rounded up, the employees sent to the back room to be arrested later. All the customers were lined up and made to show ID before leaving, but many took an attitude with the police, refusing to show ID. Some of the crossdressers and drag queens, usually compliant, refused to be examined by the policewomen. DI Pine ordered the confrontational drag queens to be held with the employees for arrest.

On an average night, when a gay bar was raided, the customers would leave quickly and quietly, on this night they milled about outside, waiting for the bar to hopefully reopen soon. Many regulars received cheers and applause when they exited, and began to strike poses or give a clever one-liner. The policemen at the door roughly hurried them on. At this point the crowd was still celebratory, laughing, camp. The arrests were not taken seriously because the Stonewall owners had a lawyer who would get everyone out of jail in hours. (Carter, 2005, p. 82-83) (Carter, 2005, p. 131-148) One crossdresser hit a police officer with her purse, he responded by hitting her with his club, the crowd booed in response and pounded the sides of the paddywagon. The mood then shifted from fun to restless and angry. (Carter, 2005, p. 148)

There is some controversy surrounding the veracity of the following event. Reportedly, there were 2 lesbians in the bar who had been harassed and groped by police during the raid, who responded angrily, getting at least one arrested. Though her hands were cuffed behind her, she escaped a patrol car twice while the crowd watched. When she was picked up and thrown into the car, she shouted at the crowd to do something, at which they erupted. (Carter, 2005, p. 150-151)

Now angry, the crowd pelted the police with coins and beer cans. A homosexual reporter, Howard Smith, worked nearby and went to get the story, sticking close to the police. DI Pine, Howard Smith, and the Sixth Precinct barricaded themselves inside the Stonewall, away from the angry crowd. The crowd continued to try to get at the police, using anything they could. They took cobblestones and bricks from nearby construction, breaking windows, some pulled up a heavy parking meter to use as a battering ram, one man was seen making and handing out Molotov cocktails that used lighter fluid instead of alcohol. (Carter, 2005, p. 156-157)

DI Pine attempted to call for help on his radio, but after each one, a voice would say ‘disregard that call’. They found a vent and sent the smaller of the two policewomen for help. (Carter, 2005, p. 171-176) The policemen put out the small fires with water, there was no chemical extinguisher in the bar. They did find a fire hose, which was turned on out the front door, cracked open. The water pressure was too weak to drive back the crowd, however, who laughed at the spray. The crowd dumped flaming trash in the now open door and the western window, where the plywood covering had been knocked down. The small coat room that the west window lead to caught fire. Soon after the fire department and another paddywagon pulled up, thanks to the policewoman going for help. The alcohol from the club and the remaining arrested people were loaded onto the paddywagon and left. (Carter, 2005, p. 171-176)

The Tactical Patrol Force arrived and began trying to break up the mob, push them off Christopher Street, but the rioters would simply run around the block and attack the TPF from behind. Many of the drag queens and street kids would sing a parody of ‘It’s Howdy Doody Time’ to taunt the TPF, starting kicklines in the middle of the street. (Carter, 2005, p. 171-176) The TPF used the hoses from the fire trucks on the rioters, to little effect. Even after the TPF got wise to the tactic of running around the block, the Greenwich Village area near Christopher Park was confusingly laid out, which the rioters, familiar with the area, used to their advantage. (Carter, 2005, p. 177)

The next evening the streets were packed with gays, allegedly thousands, who had heard of the night’s events. The police were also out in force, hoping to prevent more rioting. The day went down as the hottest June 28 on New York City record, not helping tempers. There were many gays on the street, who were frustrated with being denied entry to things, they decided to turn the tables and make Christopher street ‘gays only’. Since Christopher Street was one-way, it was simple to stop traffic from those looking to enter, unless they were gay or supportive of gays. (Carter, 2005, p. 185-187) One taxicab turned onto the street from Greenwich Avenue, unaware of what had happened the night before. The crowd didn’t realize the man wasn’t confronting them, and started to rock the car. The occupants were terrified and the driver looked to be having a heart attack, so many protesters joined arms around the taxi to protect it and allow it to back up. The taxi driver did die from the strain of the experience, the only reported fatality of the riots. (Carter, 2005, p. 186)

At the corner of Greenwich Avenue and Christopher Street was a women’s prison, many of the inmates lesbians themselves. As the rioters lit trashcans on fire, the inmates lit toilet paper and dropped it from their cell windows, screaming encouragement at the rioters below. (Carter, 2005, p. 188) Marsha P. Johnson, famous drag queen, climbed a lamppost and dropped something heavy in a bag on a patrol car’s windshield, which shattered it. The nearby police officers quickly returned to their car, grabbed someone off the street and sped off, beating the innocent man. (Carter, 2005, p. 188)

The TPF returned at approximately 2:15 AM Sunday. While the TPF were getting ready, some police officers grabbed a young man from the crowd unprovoked and began to beat him. Some rioters broke off from the crowd and rescued the man, bringing him back to the safety of the crowd. The gays refused to let the police go after him, bearing hits with billy clubs themselves rather than allow them through the crowd. Prepared, the TPF began clearing the streets. Moving the rioters didn’t work though, as they used the same tactics as the night before, escaping down confusing side streets, attacking from the rear, and taunting the TPF with a kickline. One group of boys continued the kickline as the TPF approached patiently, only breaking and running away when the 2 groups were approximately 8 feet apart. (Carter, 2005, p. 189-192) The TPF decided to close down the area of Sheridan Square, though TPF and rioters fought for control of the streets outside Christopher Park; Sheridan Square was reopened about 2 hours later. By 3:30 AM Sunday most of the rioters were gone, though many reports say that gay sex in well-known semi-public areas was at a high that night, since there was no fear of getting caught by police. (Carter, 2005, p. 192-194)

On Sunday proper, teams passed out flyers urging business owners to open legal gay bars. In 1968 close dancing between homosexuals had been legalized, so gay bars could legally exist. The flyer also called for gays to boycott Mafia-owned gay bars like the Stonewall Inn, and called Friday and Saturday nights historic. (Carter, 2005, p. 195) Sunday afternoon, gay group Mattachine’s New York chapter put up a sign in Stonewall’s eastern window, asking fellow gays to be peaceful and quiet. The police officers were again patrolling heavily, though no fighting was reported, possibly because the rioters had jobs to go to Monday morning. Some younger gays took advantage of this to go to the Sixth Precinct and put vibrant bumper stickers that read “Equality for Homosexuals” on the rear of the patrol cars and any of the officer’s own cars who had left them there while at work. (Carter, 2005, p. 197)

On Wednesday July 2, the crowds were back. Local paper The Village Voice had published 2 derogatory and condemning articles about Friday and Saturday’s riots on the front page, drawing two kinds of people. The extreme leftist groups showed up in Sheridan Square to push their own political agenda, while others arrived curious to see how the gays, of all marginalized groups, had been the first to beat the police. (Carter, 2005, p. 200-203)

At 10 PM many police cars drove down Christopher Street. Half an hour later, trash can fires were lit again, with both the fire department and the TPF responding. Many of the crowd were badly injured. Reportedly, all the injured demonstrators were gay. “The exploiters had moved in… blacks and students who want a revolution, any kind of revolution… swelled the crowd… but ‘graciously’ let the queens take all the bruises and suffer all the arrests.” Some of the rioters looted nearby stores, but the culprits were likely the newcomers. Shops that were nice to the gays, homeless kids, and queens were looted, while shops that exploited gays and overcharged were left alone. Reportedly, Wednesday’s rioting was over in an hour. (Carter, 2005, p. 200-203)

On July 31 1969, the Gay Liberation Front was officially created. At the November Eastern Regional Conference of Homophile Organizations in Philadelphia, GLF proposed a national remembrance march on the last Saturday of June. It passed. (Carter, 2005, p. 230)

The first march was held on June 28, 1970; it started hesitantly, with many gays standing on the sidewalks, unsure if they wanted to join in or not. By the time it ended, however, there was a headcount of at least 2,000. Los Angeles reported 1,200 participants. (Duberman, 1994, p. 271-272) (Duberman, 1994, p. 279) On Tuesday June 23, 2015, New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously to declare the Stonewall Inn a landmark.

""Why is it that I am still able to be sued for an auto accident if I live in Florida, a no-fault state?""

I've been in 2 accidents. The first was very minor; I rolled into the bumper in the car in front of me at a stop light and scratched their bumper. No damage was sustained to my car, but I am at-fault. The second I was cutting through an intersection that was at a red light and was about to pull into the left-turn lane when the woman in the car that was coming down the lane wasn't looking forward and hit the driver side door of my car. I was already halfway in the lane trying to straighten out into the left-turn lane but I couldn't move when she was coming, because if I moved back I might have hit someone and if I went forward she would have hit me anyway. At the scene the policewoman told me I was at fault, but when I talked to my claims adjuster, she told me that there is some negligence on the other party's part because if I had just randomly pulled out into traffic, the other party would have hit the front of my car, not the driver-side door. I am being sued by the first person and I found out just now I am being sued by the person in the second accident as well. I was told that since I am registered under my parents insurance, the other party can see that they have a lot of assets they can sue for from my parents. My question is, why are they able to sue me so easily? I've done research, and I know Florida is a no-fault state, meaning drivers cannot sue each other unless serious injury occurred, such as loss of life, limb, permanent injury, etc. In both accidents, I did not get ticketed, and I believe no police report was written, only exchanges of information.(Police were called, however. I did not leave the scene) Also both of the other parties did not ask for an ambulance or medical assistance(I know about the feeling pain later thing) but I'm sure if someone was suing for something as serious that can be listed as loss of limb or death, they would have showed some indication of injury at the scene. Both people stepped out of their cars and were fine, however.""

Second car insurance very very expensive - why? What would make it cheaper?

Hi, Me and my fiancee currently own and insure a Rover 25, V reg, 1.4 ltr, through Quinn. I'm the main driver and she's a named driver. We currently pay about 400 for tpf&t for the policy, and this has been roughly the price since we started the policy about 2 1/2 years ago. We're now looking at getting a second car as we will be working in different areas. My Grandma offered me her old Nissan Micra (1.3 ltr, K-reg) for us to have. I phoned up Quinn to get a quote for this car and they quoted 2,020!! I can't understand why it's so much more expensive, it's ridiculous! The lady I spoke to couldn't give me any adequate explanation of why it was so expensive, though she mentioned that we wouldn't be able to use a NCB on it as it would have to be an entirely new policy. But we took our first car policy with no NCB and that was a fraction of the price. Apparently the micra is called a Super-S or something, though it is not suped up or a fancy model or anything. Could that be it? We've tried a few other insurers and they also give expensive quotes (1000+) though not as ridiculous as Quinn. Any ideas why it would be so expensive? What could we change to try to make it cheaper? Change each car to have one named driver ony? Try a different car? Find a multicar insurer? I'm 31, she's 28, and we've both been driving for 2 3/4 years with no claims, points, convictions etc. Thanks.""

We have Progressive but I just want a estimate - Maybe like the average of how much people with integras pay for insurance. Mustang 2004 Under my dads name (age 50) I would be secondary driver Black or silver Maybe 100k miles 25 miles/ day Used around 4000$ - 5000$ Not luxury, but its a sports car, Im guessing insurance is more expensive for it""

A lot of people I know drive and their insurance varies, some have paid a lot and some a little but everything I try fails. I understand as a 17 year old male car insurance is always going to be steep and 2.6K is probably a good quote but is it at ALL possible to get a quote for around 2K or less?

Why do we need basic health insurance?

Health insurance should be for serious issues that require surgery or hospitalization. Why do I pay insurance to get a checkup or for routine visits? The problem with health insurance is it is too broad; therefore, it is too big. The idiots who say that car insurance is mandatory as an argument for mandatory health insurance leave out that it is only LIABILITY insurance that is mandatory. You are not required to insure fixing your own car if you choose not to. Think about how much more expensive it would be to take care of routine things like car maintenance, appliance replacement, etc., if they were handled through an insurance company. The answer seems to be to eliminate most of the unnecessary insurance and shrink it to only what is required. That along with serious tort reform would eliminate much of the red tape and cost. The person who abuses their things pays more to replace and fix them. Same thing with the fat people, who suck up most of the insurance money the rest of us pay.. If you choose to be fat, then you will pay more to repair your health. It seems pretty simple, but then again the current proposal is not really about health care is it???""

How does the age of a car factor into the cost of car insurance?

Obviously there is more than one factor that influences the cost of car insurance. I know that when a car is newer, it usually costs more to insure than a car that is older. For example, a 2009 Chevy Impala is more expensive to insure than a 1983 VW. But, suppose I bought a vehicle like a 1957 Lincoln, 1955 GMC, or a 1956 Plymouth (or some other car from that time period)? If it wasnt something that people easily recognize like more popular cars from that time period, would it cost less to insure? (They arent as recognizable or popular, in the sense that if one was driving a 1957 Chevy, or a 1959 Cadillac or a Thunderbird, most people would instantly know what it was, but if I drove a 1957 Lincoln or a 1955 GMC, most people wouldnt immediately know what it was.)""

How much would a personal health insurance policy cost for a family of 5?

My friend is thinking about quitting his job to play poker for a living. I abolutely don't think it's a good idea because he has three kids, so you don't have to tell me that... Although over the past month of doing that in AC, he is averaging $450/day, and he is smart about how much he risks and an amazing player. Anyway he had a union job with great medical insurance; but if he did this for a living at $450/day... he'd still be making like three times what he did/year. His medical insurance would have to be purchased individually now. I was wondering if anyone knew what that could cost for a family of 5?

What should I do regarding my auto insurance situation?

I hit my dad's expedition with my Dodge Ram and caused about 1500 dollars in damage to my Ram, as estimated for parts and labor by a collision center, I hit the expedition's hitch which caused damage to me but barely a few scratches on the expedition. The expedition doesn't run, and is not even registered or insured. My dad is aware of the situation and has no interest in fixing his car and will not report me to the insurance or police. We have and still are on good terms. I have liability insurance, so it will not cover damage to my vehicle. My insurance policy expires in two weeks. What if I update my insurance with collision and comprehensive coverage that will cover my vehicle. Then I report that I hit an object and have them pay for it. Would this be cheaper in the short and/or long run than paying to fix out of pocket? Is such action above illegal, unethical, and/or against policy?

Can I have the insurance company replace my car?!!!?

Hello everyone. I just bought a new car five days ago. Two days ago another driver crashed into the back of my new car and sped off. The other driver was caught, but I am told that my new car is in pretty bad condition and it will probably be considered a total loss. The problem is my credit is pretty bad and I had a hard time getting such a nice car, which I traded my previous vehicle for. I'm afraid that even if the other insurance company pays off my new car, I won't be able to get another one. I have no money and nothing to trade. Even more, I really liked my new car and I want the same make and model, but I don't think I'll be able to find another one. What can I do? Would I be able to have the other company replace my car.""
