In memory of all those lost - and how little has been done since to stem gun violence / mass killings or protect the community in the US - and how quickly even the little gains have been lost as far as rights and protections since January 20TH.

Es ist zwar schon ein paar Tage her, dass der CSD in Friedrichshafen war, aber ich bin erst heute dazu gekommen einen Beitrag in meinem Blog dazu zu veröffentlichen -> https://www.michaela-bodensee.de/2025/06/csd-friedrichshafen-2025-jetzt-erst.html

We've known for quite a while now that Marsha P Johnson was not even at Stonewall when the riot broke out. In an interview she did before she was killed, she described hearing about it after the fact. We don't actually know 'who threw the first brick' but some historians point to stone butch Black lesbian Stormé deLarverie as a leading possibility.

Variations on a theme emerged around the time of Roland Emmerich's awful 2015 Stonewall movie which featured a fictional white boy inciting the riot. People were quite rightly outraged by the whitewashing and a plot that yet again portrayed the anger of a cisgender white man as the motive force of history.
In response, we started seeing the claim that a drag queen or a trans woman of colour 'threw the first brick.' The problem is that Black and trans lives were so poorly memorialised that Marsha and another candidate Sylvia Rivera are the only ones popular centrist LGBT activist culture even knew about.
In the end I think the search for a 'hero of Stonewall' is misguided for two reasons.
A riot is an emergent phenomenon that occurs when a whole crowd of people simultaneously decide to act on their rage (or jubilation, e.g. football riots). Emegent phenomena have tipping points but no single point of origin. The second and subsequent bricks mattered just as much as the first; without them following in quick succession the first brick thrower would simply have been arrested (or killed).
Secondly, it wasn't even the first queer riot in the United States: that was the Compton's cafeteria riot in 1966, three years prior to Stonewall, and that one WAS unquestionably led by trans women.

The focus on Stonewall in the collective imaginary of queer activism speaks to the absolute death grip New York City has on our ideas of cosmopolitanism, no matter where we are in the Anglosphere. It's frankly weird that the UK's biggest LGBTQ charity is named after Stonewall and not some local event or person. Its NYC-ness made Stonewall seem a more real and authentic origin story for gay liberation than other candidates like Compton's, or the Mattachine Society, or Magnus Hirschfeld, or pre-WWII Berlin.

Réac un jour, réac toujours.
Ça me rappelle les lois sur l'avortement étudiées puis écrites par des commissions exclusivement masculines, sans aucune femme, aucun transgenre, rien que des suprémacistes du patriarcat, à la manière de "c'est nous qu'on va vous expliquer comment vous devez vivre chez vous."
Comme le chantaient Les Cowboys Fringants (chanson "So, so" - , album "Octobre") :
"... quand on sait que nos deux seuls fléaux sont l'hiver et les libéraux".
Dont acte, une fois de trop de plus.

The Spectrum is about the variety that fills the spectrum from straight to gay, from cisgender to transgender, and all the other variety of ways for people other than exist.
It's based in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and while it does cover local issues, it also talks about national issues that impact all our lives and issues that are independent of where we all live.

yeah it's fucked out here. esp in OH. if you stay in the cities you might be okay but campgrounds are usually in deep red areas. that's usually a Do Not Travel for us. Had to take down all of our pride stuff because of escalating hate crimes locally. I had to stop dressing like I used to (cutesy and femme) and change my wardrobe to redneck cause of threats to me (trans man with full ass beard).
we have some really nice doctors and care around here, but with massive defunding and the big anti-queer and anti-intellectual push (see our stupid school bills) a lot of people packed up and left. The big one banning "woke teachings" in colleges would kill education here completely. i could go on for hours.
Did you know we have a counter for how long it's been since a car crashed into a building in Columbus? it averaged about 1 every 2-3 days for January of this year. :)
don't come to ohio. don't do it. our science museams are run by fascists and our grocery stores are filled with people trying to sell you things.
