Today in Labor History August 24, 1945: LGBTQ activist Marsha P. Johnson was born. She was one of the central players in the Stonewall Uprising of 1969. She was also founding member of the Gay Liberation Front and co-founded the radical activist group Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries . Johnson was also an insider in New York's art scene, modeling for Andy Warhol, and performing with the drag group Hot Peaches. Some referred to her as the "mayor of Christopher Street" for her warm presence in Greenwich Village. From 1987 through 1992, she was active with ACT UP. When asked what the ”P” stood for in her name, or asked about her gender, she’d say the “P” stood for “pay-it-no-mind.” She died in 1992, likely from a transphobic attack.

This was twenty-five years ago, and yet, it still seems to be way ahead of our time.

Waarom zou ons angstvallige #LHBTIQ+ festivalletje in #Amsterdam niet langer dan een week mogen duren, @ChrisAalberts ? Krijgen de hetero's last van 'beetje overkill' van een maand lang? Is een weekje wel acceptabel? Waarom begrijp je niet dat wij het hele jaar smachten naar #queervrijheid en #gayliberation. Moeten we na de #queerpride onze mond houden? Waarom zijn wij dan een 'beetje overkill'?

Highly recommend this excellent #film #trailer for Queer The Way, upcoming documentary about how the struggle for #queer liberation in the global south is located in colonialism and British #patriarchy #homophobia overruling regional cultures & historical acceptance of #diversity

Today's archival work: helping to create the finding aid for recordings tied to Australian gay lib/gay rights movements (late 70s to mid-80s). These tapes are radio programs recording conference plenaries, poetry readings, debates, radio plays and performances.

(Downside: I emerged covered in mold spores- not all tapes are in great condition).
