My guest this week is Mark Segal, who started making waves in the 1960s and hasn't stopped since. Mark was there for Stonewall, he was there for the organizing of the first Prides that followed, and he was ready to get arrested for the cause of gay liberation — and was many times, including on one memorable occasion when he invaded a broadcast of the CBS evening news. These days, he claims the title of the nation's most awarded LGBT journalist, he continues to oversee operations at the Philadelphia Gay News, and he has some wisdom to offer queer people following the trail that he blazed.We'll have that conversation in just a moment.

This is a time machine!!!!!!! We're launching a new series on the podcast dedicated exclusively to the stories of LGBTQ+ elders. Over the last five years, it's the interviews with the oldest members of our community that have connected the most with our listeners. And that goes for me too. Speaking to people like Miss Major Griffin Gracy, Magora Kennedy, Cleve Jones, Charles Silverstein, and Tracey "Africa" Norman is where I've found the most inspiration. This Tuesday (3/1), we're kicking things off with Barbara Satin, a faith leader and 87-year-old trans woman from Minneapolis. If you have any suggestions for LGBTQ+ elders who have amazing stories that you think we should know about, shoot me a message. I'd love to hear about them. Here are links to the different voices heard in this episode: Mark Segal, Charles Silverstein, Ben Daniels (from The National Theatre in London's production of A Normal Heart), Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and Kate Bornstein. LGBTQ&A is hosted by Jeffrey Masters and produced by The Advocate magazine, in partnership with GLAAD. Follow us on Twitter: @lgbtqpod

The United States is the third biggest Country in the World, after China and India. It seems that all LGBTQ+ people live in the US, yet they resemble only 4.2% of the world LGBTQ+ population. We had a conversation with Jeffrey Masters, the creator and host of the long-running interview podcast "LGBTQ&A", recommended by The New York Times.

We’ve seen it happen all over the country and you’ve probably seen it in your backyard--clinics are merging and consolidating, absorbing the market share. But with the fall of Integramed in the spring of 2020 and dozens of clinics left in the lurch, mergers and consolidations started to appear more risky. On this episode of Inside Reproductive Health, Griffin talks to Mark Segal, CEO of Shady Grove Fertility and CEO of the newly-formed US Fertility, a fertility group made up of Shady Grove Fertility, IVF Florida, RSC of the Bay Area, and FCI in Chicago. Despite forming in a pandemic and after the Integramed news, US Fertility’s partnerships thrive--and are geared to keep growing, especially in the next 18 months. So what does that mean for the hundreds of smaller clinics that continue to remain in the field? You can find Mark Segal on LinkedIn and learn more about US Fertility by visiting USFertility.com.

Mark Segal, 69, was 18 years old when he went dancing at the Stonewall Inn one night. He later found himself in the middle of a riot that made LGBTQ history and sparked his lifelong commitment to activism. A journalist and founding member of the Gay Liberation Front, a collective of LGBTQ activist groups that emerged after the Stonewall Riots, he says the anti-police brutality demonstrations sweeping the country today remind him of what he experienced 51 years ago. Though he has been unable to march since he is high risk for COVID-19, he has been proudly watching his neighbors in Philadelphia take to the streets, organizing relief supplies for protestors, and speaking out in solidarity. “If you appreciate what happened at Stonewall, you appreciate all movements for social justice,” he tells Bustle. Here, Segal describes the similarities between the Stonewall Riots and today’s movement for Black Lives Matter. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. When Stonewall happened, the LGBT community was totally invisible. We were considered the lowest form of society. If you were LGBT, you were not allowed to be a doctor, a lawyer, a garbage person — you could be fired, and without anti-discrimination laws, you’d have no recourse. If you were gay, the government criminalized your sex life. You were known to be immoral by the church. Medical society considered being gay an illness to be treated. That was what our oppression was. All that turmoil from 1968 [the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy] had spilled over into June of 1969. We had a president that we considered illegal [due to his expansion of the unauthorized war in Vietnam]. In that way, it was very similar to today. The LGBT community was totally under the thumb of the police department on Christopher Street in New York City. The police would walk the street and they would use their billy clubs on us, they would shout insults, they would arrest people for no reason. It was against the law for a bar to serve alcohol to a suspected homosexual. Stonewall was an illegal bar in that sense. But it was the only place we could be ourselves. For an 18-year-old, that was everything. The night of the riots, the police raided the bar looking for bootlegged alcohol and people violating the state’s “gender-appropriate clothing statute,” [or cross-dressing]. It was hot outside and we just weren’t going to take it anymore. We decided to take the street back. As they led people outside the bar, there became more of us outside the bar than in it. We made sure the police were barricaded in the bar. They called for reinforcement, and that turned into what is now known as the Stonewall Riots. We organized for several days. Every single night we stayed out, we challenged the police. I remember marching outside the house of detention on Greenwich Avenue to free Angela Davis. That was a Black rights march, but like-minded civil rights organizations were there because we were all fighting for civil rights justice. Those who stood their ground at Stonewall were trans women, Black men and, sometimes forgotten in history, women. But we all had one thing in common: society didn’t care for us, and the most endangered of us all in society and most outraged at Stonewall were Black trans women. Today, Black trans women are still the most endangered in our community. And when we march, as we should, with the Black Lives Matter protesters, we should do so in solidarity with our Black trans community. Black trans women are pioneers. If you appreciate what happened at Stonewall, you appreciate all movements for social justice. That’s the big connection between Stonewall and the George Floyd demonstrations — we were going up against the police, saying the police had overused their power. I am delighted by what I am seeing in the streets these past nine days. I am so happy to see so many LGBT signs in the crowds, speaking out against police brutality. Because of COVID-19, I worry now also for everyone out there who has marched, especially those who have hugged one another for comfort while marching. At Stonewall, we were in a position where no elected officials cared about us, so we had to build a movement. That’s why we were out demonstrating every single day. We needed visibility. The numbers out there right now sends a message to every elected official and every police department in the country that change must be made. And now they understand what it means to have their actions and policies put under a spotlight. We have shown that the American public wants change. To everyone out there getting arrested for protesting today, I say, wear your arrest as a badge of honor. Remember that no one person has control over the word patriot. Our government was born out of a revolution. A revolutionary is a patriot. It’s time to take back that word.

In July 1969, the Stonewall Inn was raided by the police's so-called, Public Morals Squad. This was normal at the time, but what's significant about this occurrence is the fact that this time the people stood up and fought back. This moment is marked as the start of the LGBTQ movement as we know it today. One year later Pride was born. Mark Segal was present at the riots of Stonewall Inn and became an activist and a well-known figure in the fight for human rights by highjacking Walter Cronkite's live CBS broadcast to as many as 66 million Americans. He then founded the Philadephia Gay News in 1976 and is still running the paper. He has also, amongst many things, authored the book "And Then I Danced: Traveling the Road to LGBT Equality", as well as collaborated with Barack Obama in a $19 million housing project for the communities senior citizens.We are also joined by Juliet Atto, who is a journalist and the co-founder of the community Black Queers Sweden. Together they teach us about the once suppressed history, the modern fight for human rights, and the future of community forming and belonging.

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the riots that started the fight for American LGBTQ+ rights, The Stonewall Reader highlights some of the movement's most iconic moments and figures in the years before and after those tumultuous events. Assembling archival research and first-person accounts, editor Jason Baumann-the New York Public Library's coordinator of humanities and LGBTQ collections-planned the book's release to coincide with Love & Resistance: Stonewall 50, the library's exhibition on the Stonewall riots and the ensuing gay liberation movement, open through July 14, 2019. He will be joined by Mark Segal, founder of the Philadelphia Gay News, who will discuss his contribution to the anthology, ''And Then I Danced,'' Karla Jay, author of Tales of the Lavender Menace: A Memoir of Liberation and a distinguished professor emerita at Pace University, and Joel Hall, part of the Third World Gay Revolution movement in Chicago, and a dancer, choreographer, and activist.

Ingenting går som polisen har tänkt sig när de slår till mot gaybaren Stonewall Inn i New York i slutet av juni 1969. Motståndet från barbesökarna blir snart våldsamt och en uppretad folkmassa tar till stenar och tillhyggen. Den urartade polisrazzian blir starten på ett flera dagar långt upplopp. På årsdagen av händelsen vill aktivister högtidlighålla minnet av Stonewallupproret med en marsch genom staden. Manifestation kommer att gå till historien som världens första prideparad och därmed blir en milstolpe för hbtq-rörelsen, för homosexuella, bisexuella, trans- och queerpersonernas rättigheter. Men snart uppstår en splittring som kommer att bestå i decennier. Medverkande: Karla Jay, författare och hbtq-aktivist. Mark Segal, författare och hbtq-aktivist. Robert Bryan, hbtq-aktivist som var med under upploppet. Anna-Maria Sörberg, frilansjournalist och författare. David Carter, författare som skrivit om Stonewallupproret. John O'Brien, hbtq-aktivist som var med under upploppet. Fler som hörs i programmet: Seymour Pine, Yvonne Ritter, Martin Boyce, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera och Jennicet Gutiérrez. En dokumentär av: Palmira Koukkari Mbenga. Producent: Jalal Lalouni. År: 2019.

On December 11, 1973, Mark Segal disrupted a live broadcast of the CBS Evening News when he sat on the desk directly between the camera and news anchor Walter Cronkite, yelling, “Gays protest CBS prejudice!” He was wrestled to the studio floor by the stagehands on live national television, thus ending LGBT invisibility. But this one victory left many more battles to fight, and creativity was required to find a way to challenge stereotypes surrounding the LGBT community. Mark Segal’s job, as he saw it, was to show the nation who gay people are: our sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers. Because of activists like Mark Segal, whose life work is dramatically detailed in this poignant and important memoir, today there are openly LGBT people working in the White House and throughout corporate America. An entire community of gay world citizens is now finding the voice that they need to become visible. Mark Segal has established a reputation as the dean of American gay journalism over the past five decades. From the Stonewall demonstrations in 1969 to founding the Philadelphia Gay News in 1975, along with his more recent forays into TV and politics, his proven commitment as a tireless LGBT advocate has made him a force to be reckoned with. Respected by his peers for pioneering the idea of local LGBT newspapers, he is one of the founders and former president of both the National Gay Press Association and the National Gay Newspaper Guild. Segal was recently inducted into the National Lesbian & Gay Journalist Association’s Hall of Fame and was appointed a member of the Comcast/NBCUniversal Joint Diversity Board, where he advises the entertainment giant on LGBT issues. He is also president of the dmhFund, though which he builds affordable LGBT-friendly housing for seniors. He lives in Philadelphia. And Then I Danced is his memoir.
