1969 spontaneous uprising for gay rights in New York City
POPULARITY
Long-time views of the show know that I've always been skeptical of equating Trump/MAGA with European fascism. I've always thought it historically facile and misleading. But I'm beginning to change my mind. Take, for example, David Masciotra's thoughts on Trump's “ravenous bigotry” toward the trans community. As Masciotra warns, this is the kind of organized, willful persecution of powerless minorities that fascist parties openly pursued while in power. Meanwhile, as Masciotra notes, prominent Dems like Gavin Newsom are staging a “shameful retreat” on trans rights and inviting neo-fascists like Steve Bannon onto their podcast shows. And then there's Schumer. Oy.Here are the five KEEN ON AMERICA takeaways with our conversation with Masciotra* Democrats' retreat on trans rights: Masciotra argues that Democrats, including figures like Gavin Newsom and Rahm Emanuel, are retreating from defending transgender rights after the election loss, which he views as both a moral failure and a strategic mistake.* Targeted anti-trans rhetoric: According to Masciotra, 41% of Trump's campaign ads specifically targeted transgender Americans, demonstrating how the issue has been deliberately weaponized for political purposes despite transgender people making up less than 1% of the population.* Trans rights as the "first course": Masciotra warns that "bigotry is ravenous," suggesting that abandoning transgender rights opens the door to attacks on other minority groups, comparing it to a restaurant menu where "trans people are the first course."* Democratic leadership criticism: David Masciotra is highly critical of Democratic leadership, particularly Chuck Schumer, whom he describes as "pathetic" and "inert" in his response to Trump's policies, with Masciotra noting a generational divide in the party's approach to resistance.* Authoritarian tactics and erasure: Masciotra discusses concerning developments like the National Park Service removing transgender references from Stonewall Rebellion information, which he characterizes as a "totalitarian termination of knowledge" mirroring authoritarian tactics described in Orwell's 1984.David Masciotra is an author, lecturer, and journalist. He is the author of Exurbia Now: The Battleground of American Democracy (Melville House Publishing, 2024) I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters (I.B. Tauris, 2020), Mellencamp: American Troubadour (University Press of Kentucky), Barack Obama: Invisible Man (Eyewear Publishers, 2017), and Metallica by Metallica, a 33 1/3 book from Bloomsbury Publishers, which has been translated into Chinese and Greek. In 2010, Continuum Books published his first book, Working On a Dream: The Progressive Political Vision of Bruce Springsteen. Masciotra writes regularly for the New Republic, Washington Monthly, Progressive, the Los Angeles Review of Books, CrimeReads, No Depression, and the Daily Ripple. He has also written for Salon, the Daily Beast, CNN, Atlantic, Washington Post, AlterNet, Indianapolis Star, and CounterPunch. Several of his political essays have been translated into Spanish for publication at Korazon de Perro.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

The progressive and disruptive social movements of the 1960s and 70s had a huge impact on the Broadway Musical and were reflected back into the culture by them. These include the Civil Rights movement, Women's Liberation, Black Power, and the Gay Liberation Movement. The Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 brought gay issues into the mainstream and during the 1970s LGBTQ+ people would become “out, loud, and proud” in significant numbers. Of course, it makes sense that this new visibility and feeling of liberation would be felt on Broadway where there had always been a large representation of queer people throughout the industry, including in positions of leadership. As a result queer characters and stories began appearing on Broadway -- especially in plays -- but also in a few musicals as well. In this episode I explore the growing visibility of openly queer content on Broadway in musicals such as Hair, Coco, Applause, Seesaw, A Chorus Line, La Cage Aux Folles, and the works of William Finn. I also recount the devastating effect that the AIDS Crisis had on Broadway during the 1980s and 90s when a whole generation of creative talent was eliminated or sidelined by the disease. AIDS claimed the lives of hundreds of actors, singers, musicians, stage managers, production assistants, and designers -- as well as scores of dancers that had been trained by Bennett, Fosse, Champion, and Tune and might have one day become influential directors and choreographers themselves. The devastation of AIDS opened the door to the “British Invasion” that would soon dominate Broadway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This Episode was recorded on the Anniversaries of both The Stonewall Rebellion of 1969 and The Gay Liberation Parade of 1970. Eric shares his thoughts amongst His Loyal Listeners.
Over 800 anti-LGBTQ bills have either been passed or are on the docket in 27 states, according to the organization Human Rights Campaign. Much of this legislation targets transgender people in particular, focusing on gender-affirming medical care, public education, and the presence of gender nonconforming people in public space. As a result, schools, healthcare, and public space have been dragged into the frontlines of a new culture war that ultimately takes aim at democracy itself. The Marc Steiner Show hosts a special intergenerational Pride Month panel among queer activists to reflect on the current moment's resonance with past threats to the LGBTQ community, and what lessons such history can offer in the fight ahead.Lexi McMenamin is the News & Politics Editor at Teen Vogue. They are also a freelance writer covering politics, identity, activist movements, and pop culture.Allen Young is a journalist and author. He was a member of the Liberation News Service in the late 1960s. As a member of the Venceremos Brigades to Cuba, he spoke out against the treatment of gays in the Cuban Revolution at the time.

This is a special Encore Episode in celebration of PRIDE month. The Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 thrust the issue of Gay Rights into the mainstream and as a result, during the 1970s queer people became “out, loud, and proud” in significant numbers. In fact, all of the progressive and disruptive social movements of the 1960s & 70s — Civil Rights, Women's Liberation, Black Power, Anti-War — had significant impacts on Broadway and were vibrantly reflected back into the culture by the hit musicals of the era in both subtle and overt ways. So, it makes sense that this new LGBTQ+ visibility and joyous feeling of liberation would also have a major impact on Broadway where queer people have alway been present in large numbers, including its highest levels of leadership. In this episode I explore the sudden and significant wave openly queer content on Broadway in groundbreaking shows such as Hair, Coco, Applause, Seesaw, A Chorus Line, La Cage Aux Folles, and Falsettos. The positive impact that these widely seen musicals had on gay liberation — especially the mega-hit A Chorus Line — should not be underestimated! I also relate the devastating effect that the AIDS Crisis had on Broadway during the 1980s & 90s, when an entire generation of Broadway directors, choreographers, composers, lyricists, bookwriters, and other other creative talent was eliminated or sidelined by the disease. AIDS also claimed the lives of hundreds of actors, singers, musicians, stage managers, production assistants, and designers — as well as scores of dancers that had been trained by Bennett, Fosse, Champion, and Tune and who might have become influential directors and/or choreographers themselves. The devastation of AIDS opened the door to the “British Invasion” that would soon dominate Broadway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Jim Fouratt, former actor, gay rights activist, and one of the founding members of the Gay Liberation Front which was formed on the third night of the Stonewall Riots (also called the Stonewall Uprising), discusses what happened on 28 June 1969, leading to six days of protests and violent clashes with law enforcement outside the bar on Christopher Street. Speakng to the many fictions that have circulated in recent years, perpetuated largely by the transgender lobby, Fouratt historicises the era as well as the class and race issues prevalent in the late 1960s within New York City's gay and lesbian community. Fouratt details how what he calls the Stonewall Rebellion was most definitely not a political protest that involved the sic “transgender community,” noting that Marsha P. Johnson was not even present and that drag queens barely figured into the venue of the Stoewall Inn much less the rebellion. Describing the political, policing, and social milieu at the time, Fouratt delves into how and why Stonewall took place, elaborating the social dynamics of various generations within gay culture as he vituperates the rewriting of gay and lesbian history by the transgender lobby that attempts to whitewash and erase gay men and lesbians from their own movement.

The Stonewall Inn, a bar run by the mafia and catering to those in the early LGBTQ community, when it was very dangerous to belong to that group. The local police would raid it now and then, but find out when enough is finally enough and they finally refuse to leave. The beginning of a rebellion that help spawn a revolution.

This week, in the first episode of our Pride Month series, we are in conversation with Martin Boyce, who was there irl on that infamous day that Stonewall was raided and kick started what we know today as Pride! "Martin Boyce is a Stonewall Riot (Uprising) activist, sharing the story of one of the most pivotal queer/trans action in history. The Stonewall Riots (also known as the Stonewall Uprising or the Stonewall Rebellion) were a series of spontaneous demonstrations by members of the gay community in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighbourhood of New York City. Patrons of the Stonewall, other Village 2SLGBTQIA+ bars, and neighbourhood street people fought back when the police became violent.

Martin Boyce is a Stonewall Riot (Uprising) activist, sharing the story of one of the most pivotal queer/trans action in history. Martin was 19 years old at Stonewall and was part of the uprising.The Stonewall Riots (also known as the Stonewall Uprising or the Stonewall Rebellion) were a series of spontaneous demonstrations by members of the gay community in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighbourhood of New York City. Patrons of the Stonewall, other Village 2SLGBTQIA+ bars, and neighbourhood street people fought back when the police became violent. The riots are widely considered a watershed event that transformed the gay liberation movement and the twentieth-century fight for LGBT rights in Canada and the United States.Though the uprising didn't start the gay rights movement, it was a night that inspired many to take up political activism and led to the creation of many gay rights organizations – including the Gay Liberation Front, Human Rights Campaign, and GLAAD.Support the show
In the year 1969, Richard Nixon became president of the United States, James Earl Ray plead guilty to the murder of Dr Martin Luther King, multiple planes are hijacked to Cuba, the Stonewall Rebellion took place, and the war in Vietnam raged on.….but there was an incredible music festival that took place for the third time in Mt Morris Park in Harlem, that for years no one recalled.Welcome to See Hear Podcast episode 95.Tony Lawrence was a lounge singer who had a vision to bring some joy and positivity to Harlem. The African American population had undergone poverty and police brutality. Lawrence assembled the first Harlem Cultural Festival in 1967, but the lineup of 1967 was truly amazing. Started a full two months before Woodstock, this festival held over a series of weekends over the summer featured the likes of Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, The Staple Singers, The Fifth Dimension, B.B. King and many others. 40 hours of festival footage was shot for local TV networks, but shortly after, the festival and its footage were forgotten by most – and Woodstock became ubiquitous in popular myth as the cultural event of a generation.In 2021, drummer, DJ and music director Questlove released the film “Summer of Soul (Or When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised)” about that event featuring much of that magnificent footage.....but this is not a concert film in the conventional sense. There are interviews with musicians and those who attended the shows – both from the time and contemporary. To contextualise the period the show was born into, we get news clips about the moon landing, poverty, radicalism, Martin Luther King's assassination and a lot more. This footage is not slotted in as an afterthought – it goes hand in hand with the music, and is a masterpiece of editing.Tim was not available, but Bernie and Maurice were joined by film writer, broadcaster, and commentator Emma Westwood to discuss the wonder of the event – both musically and politically. The film is completely worthy of the praise and hype. We hope to convince you that you need to see this – in a cinema or on a streaming service.Our gratitude goes to Emma who brought an amazing conversation to the show (no surprises there).

In the year 1969, Richard Nixon became president of the United States, James Earl Ray plead guilty to the murder of Dr Martin Luther King, multiple planes are hijacked to Cuba, the Stonewall Rebellion took place, and the war in Vietnam raged on. ….but there was an incredible music festival that took place for the third time in Mt Morris Park in Harlem, that for years no one recalled. Welcome to See Hear Podcast episode 95. Tony Lawrence was a lounge singer who had a vision to bring some joy and positivity to Harlem. The African American population had undergone poverty and police brutality. Lawrence assembled the first Harlem Cultural Festival in 1967, but the lineup of 1967 was truly amazing. Started a full two months before Woodstock, this festival held over a series of weekends over the summer featured the likes of Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, The Staple Singers, The Fifth Dimension, B.B. King and many others. 40 hours of festival footage was shot for local TV networks, but shortly after, the festival and its footage were forgotten by most – and Woodstock became ubiquitous in popular myth as the cultural event of a generation. In 2021, drummer, DJ and music director Questlove released the film “Summer of Soul (Or When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised)” about that event featuring much of that magnificent footage.....but this is not a concert film in the conventional sense. There are interviews with musicians and those who attended the shows – both from the time and contemporary. To contextualise the period the show was born into, we get news clips about the moon landing, poverty, radicalism, Martin Luther King's assassination and a lot more. This footage is not slotted in as an afterthought – it goes hand in hand with the music, and is a masterpiece of editing.

Sportsmen come out and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff plays dad; U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken backs global queer rights; an early 1969 radio show for “homosexuals” forecasts the Stonewall Rebellion; E.U. leaders slam Hungary's “no promo homo” law, banned Istanbul Pride marches into a violent police response, and Anheuser-Busch Pride duplicity goes flat at the Stonewall Inn! All that, and more this week, when you discover “This Way Out”: the world's audio oasis for queer news and culture.
Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality We get into a veritable orgy of topics on this Love Train ride! With lusty love for kinky orgasms, starry-eyed hope for War Crime-exposing journalist Julian Assange to finally be freed from America's chokehold in an English dungeon, nauseated laughter over the Sorest Loser being back on the Ammosexual American Vanity and Insanity tour, cheers for the Stonewall Rebellion flamboyantly GAY sex revolutionaries, we-told-you-so feelings for the latest SESTA/FOSTA news, disgust for military IFOs and excitement about a dirty "PiG" (and no, we don't mean Nicolas Cage), we choo-choo to a great sapiosexual climax to June, 2021. Partly in response to the Trumpus Rumpus Rally, and also because it's a spectacular, our after-show throwback is “GasMaskGirl in the Trumpocalypse” (2016) when I predicted we'd all be wearing masks by 2020! Making it a total GasMask night, Mistress Ameena of GMG joins us to talk gasmask chic, the FemDom life, and the pleasurable of face-sitting from her Queening Stool, where she always makes sure her subbie can breathe… unlike Derek Chauvin, who actually has "chauvinist" in his name. But we refrain from calling him a male chauvinist “pig” because we're excited about Vanessa Block's new film of that name. The American Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) and the Prison-Industrial Complex (PIC) both have Julian Assange in a chokehold, though, with the chief U.S. witness admitting he lied, the Wikileaks publisher really should be released, but will he be? Now it's been proven: SESTA/FOSTA does not PROSECUTE guilty sex traffickers, but PERSECUTES innocent sex workers and all of our freedom of erotic expression. And we explore an orgy of other topics, including male circumcision; my Counterpunch article on “The Kinkster Candidate” Zack Weiner (a Weiner who's not being a wiener, even though outed); the Stonewall Rebellion vs. the MIC's “woke” recruitment ads; IDF war crimes against Palestinians; the Pentagon's report on UFOs vs. the Pentagon's actual IFOs (bombs); Ron Jeremy in jail; the farting fetish; fears and joys of pegging; marvels of mature orgasms; how pleasure heals pain... temporarily.

The first Pride March was in June 1970, marking the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in NYC. Since then, we've made progress, but there is a long way yet to go. In today's episode, we're joined on the phone by Dr. Eli Pendleton, primary care physician with Baptist Health Medical Group at our Deer Park location in Louisville. Dr. Pendleton is an amazing ally for the LGBTQ community and provides primary care to almost 250 transgender patients who travel in from all parts of KY and Southern Indiana. There are unique health issues and challenges that affect the LGBTQ community, and in today's episode, we're taking some time to explore some of those.
We're back! We got married and we're so happy! With it still being Pride month we wanted to take the time to cover a story that we've talked about so much and that is integral to the story of Pride! What's more this episode is released on the 52nd anniversary of the events at The Stonewall Inn. Find out what happened and how it continues to impact the lives of LGBTQ+ people around the world.

June 22, 2021 interview with Anthony Coron, a participant in the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion which launched the Gay Rights movement.
On June 28, 1969, what would normally have been a rather routine police bust of an unlicensed bar on New York City's west side, sparked a series a riots and protests that birthed the modern Gay Pride movement. Who was there, who started the riot, who did the police target and many other details surrounding the night of the 28th as well as the subsequent nights of rioting has been a point of contention within the LGBT community ever since. Join us this week as we discuss the origins of Pride Month and the complicated beginnings of the LGBT rights movement.

The progressive and disruptive social movements of the 1960s and 70s had a huge impact on the Broadway Musical and were reflected back into the culture by them. These include the Civil Rights movement, Women’s Liberation, Black Power, and the Gay Liberation Movement. The Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 brought gay issues into the mainstream and during the 1970s LGBTQ+ people would become “out, loud, and proud” in significant numbers. Of course, it makes sense that this new visibility and feeling of liberation would be felt on Broadway where there had always been a large representation of queer people throughout the industry, including in positions of leadership. As a result queer characters and stories began appearing on Broadway -- especially in plays -- but also in a few musicals as well. In this episode I explore the growing visibility of openly queer content on Broadway in musicals such as Hair, Coco, Applause, Seesaw, A Chorus Line, La Cage Aux Folles, and the works of William Finn. I also recount the devastating effect that the AIDS Crisis had on Broadway during the 1980s and 90s when a whole generation of creative talent was eliminated or sidelined by the disease. AIDS claimed the lives of hundreds of actors, singers, musicians, stage managers, production assistants, and designers -- as well as scores of dancers that had been trained by Bennett, Fosse, Champion, and Tune and might have one day become influential directors and choreographers themselves. The devastation of AIDS opened the door to the “British Invasion” that would soon dominate Broadway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Coming up on this week’s episode, PRIDE month may have just ended, but I thought it would be worth exploring the event that serves as the reason why PRIDE month is held in June each year: the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion.The Stonewall Rebellion is a story of many colors:• It’s a story of the oppressed emerging into the light to claim what was rightfully theirs.• It’s a story that illustrates why appeasement. Bowing to the mob. As a self-preservation strategy, never works.• It’s a story of how change – true, sustained, beautiful change – can incubate from that which seems unlikely.• And because this is a risk podcast, after all, the Stonewall Rebellion is a story of, not just of how you turn threat into opportunity, but how you take that opportunity, mould it, and transform it into sustained outcomes for the better.This episode may be upsetting or distressing for some.

Yesterday I attended this inspiring march and I present it here in it's entirety, including all the walking and chants. I did this for two reasons: 1. I think this is an important piece of history and should be preserved as a matter of historical record. 2. It gives the listenturd the opportunity to listen to the soundscape of the march a feel like they are actually walking there with us. It's a great experience. But if you just, want to hear certain speakers, you can use the chapter markers in most podcatchers such as Pocketcasts, which is the one I use.

For Information:Ashabi Owagboriaye, Pride Without Prejudice / Reclaim Pride March, ashabi.owa@gmail.com, 312.623.2282 Radical LGBTQ Pride March TodayReplaces Corporate Parade LGBTQ activists have seized on the opportunity posed by the cancellation of Chicago's commercialized Pride Parade to launch a truly community-driven march beginning at 12 noon, Sunday, June 28th at the "Belmont" Red & Brown lines el station. The event will focus on community members, especially Black and Trans people, who are typically marginalized or tokenized at white-led Pride events. Rather than a parade filled with corporate floats advertising themselves and passive onlookers along the sidelines, this will be a participatory march of the community itself. It will be a protest, not a party. The march will unapologetically highlight issues of racism, police violence, and the obscene amount of money spent on militarized police, and a military which polices the world. In so doing, participants will be honoring the rich, but largely forgotten history of the Stonewall Rebellion and the movement that followed it. Not only was Stonewall a rebellion against police violence, fighting racism was also a core principle of the movement that came immediately after it. The early LGBTQ movement organized many actions against racism and police violence and in solidarity with the Black Panther Party, leading the BPP to become the first large "non-LGBTQ" organization to embrace what at the time was called "gay liberation." Like today's #blacklivesmatter movement with its demand to defund the police, the early, post-Stonewall LGBTQ movement recognized that resources spent on repression deprived communities of needed resources. As such and in solidarity with peoples abroad, the movement organized into chapters known as the "Gay Liberation Front," named after the National Liberation Front in Vietnam. GLF proudly organized in the anti-war movement of that era. The movement was "intersectional" before that term had been invented. So, for example, Lesbian and Bisexual women helped radicalize the women's movement of its time, challenging its entrenched homophobia and respectability politics. In so doing they helped contribute to the legalization of abortion in 1973. Demands of today's march include: -- Our goal is to reclaim Pride from white profiteers and huge corporations and return it to the people, especially our black community. -- We want to refocus and remember that Pride began with Black, Brown and Trans lives. We want bars and events to not only include, but showcase and feature the black, brown, trans, femme, lesbian, non-binary, ballroom and all other underrepresented communities on all promotions and advertisements for without these communities we would not have any of the achievements we have today. -- We want to defund the police, fund our communities, and redistribute wealth. -- We want community control of the police, with an elected civilian police accountability council that can promptly fire brutal cops and the police superintendent. CPAC now! -- The Stonewall Movement was against state violence, whether at home or abroad, opposing police terror against the Black Panther Par...

They will explore pivotal moments in American history that may not have been covered in our history books. Their goal is to address the cultural, societal and systemic issues surrounding the rebellions and share the long term progress America has seen as a result of the movements. In this episode, Emily and Morgan dive into the Boston Tea Party and the Stonewall Rebellion! Support this podcast
Today we talk to James Dixon and Darion Jones about the protests, the Stonewall Rebellion, and how to be a better ally.
HAPPY PRIDE! OK, we know we're late. Life got crazy. BUT...we aren't about to limit queer pride to just one month, Pride is 365 days a year! In this episode Teylor and Liz talk about the historical connection between alcohol, nightlife, and safe spaces for queer community. We also talk about some of our Queer Heroes and STONEWALL!!!!! In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, we ask everyone to keep in mind that Trans Femmes of Color and Gender non-conforming individuals started the Gay Liberation Movement, and they are still the most targeted and marginalized members of the queer community. We all need to do our part to protect them, and the best way to do that is to provide financial support. Links to donate below!

If there was no prejudice against LGBTQ people, we wouldn’t need to hold Pride parades all over the world during Pride month in June. We would be part of every day “straight pride”, which is the freedom to walk out and about without ever having the concern about your gender or sexual identity coming into question. Protests change in size, meaning, and voracity. To celebrate Pride – to revel openly as who we are, in public out on the streets, holding hands with the person we love, kissing our same-sex partner, making out with our trans lover, dancing in the ecstasy of the freedom of a single day surrounded by our “people” – is not only an act of celebration, but a public display and affirmation that we are here, we are queer, and we require/desire the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. That in itself is a powerful statement, and while most large North American Pride celebrations might not look like a protest, I argue that they are – albeit for the most part peaceful and celebratory. Pride make a statement about the state of LGBTQ people because of its very existence. How do we reclaim what Pride originally stood for? The Reclaim Pride Coalition answered that vital question with an alternative march to this year’s Stonewall50 and World Pride Parade in New York City, June 2019. According to their “Why We March” statement, “We March in our communities’ tradition of resistance against police, state, and societal oppression, a tradition that is epitomized and symbolized by the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion.” In episode 89, I shared Why Black Lives Matters was right, that uniformed police have no place at Pride, because of the history of violence and oppression by police forces against our community that is visually represented and triggered by the uniform. On the question of the commercialization of Pride – something I discussed with Jeffry Iovannone in, “Deconstructing the Myth of Stonewall and its Influence on Mainstream Society – LOP091” – the Reclaim Pride Coalition continues with, “We March against the exploitation of our communities for profit and against corporate and state pinkwashing, as displayed in Pride celebrations worldwide, including the NYC Pride Parade.” “Denial of equality is immoral.” As queer people we need to work together for the rights of all – against ideologies, restrictive and fundamentalist religions, racism, sexism, and all forms of prejudice. What hurts us, hurts other, and vice versa. Equality for some is not equality at all. When we celebrate, we marginalize. There will always be someone left our of our Pride celebrations. When we celebrate, without historical memory of where Pride came from, we risk marginalizing members of our LGTBQ collective. As much freedom as we feel we may have gained, we still don’t have humane rights for all – we only have human rights, which can be taken away by whoever is in power. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”Wayne dyer Know your history. Know why you chose to celebrate or party. Is it time for you to stand up and reclaim your pride?

It’s PRIDE week in most parts of the world, and it's a very special time in the calendar to raise awareness about LGTBQ equal rights. To offer a soundtrack on this day for celebration, Johann Wald and Adam Kershaw, from RPS-2 show Queer Sounds, travel along the timeline of historic events where freedom to love any person regardless of their gender or sexual preference, was marked by a specific song or involved a brave group of artists who dared to confront the rigid norms of social acceptance. We focus on openly bi-sexual Blues icons, Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, the cultural significance of Judy Garland's "Over The Rainbow", the Stonewall Rebellion, 60's pop icons who dared to come out like Dusty Springfield, gay anthems, the first Heavy Metal openly gay singer, the queerness of punk and the seismic difference Frank Ocean made when he posted that letter on his Tumblr.

[EPISODE] SOHO and The Beginnings of An Amazing New York Museum On this show we will journey to SOHO, on our second special episode in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. My guests will be Joyce Gold of Joyce Gold History Tours, and Charles Leslie, longtime SOHO resident (really pioneer) and founder of the Leslie Lohman Museum, the country’s and indeed the world’s pre-eminent museum of LGBTQ art. Segment 1 Jeff kicks off the show by introducing his first guest, Joyce Gold, of Joyce Gold History Tours. Both Jeff and Joyce discuss the shorthand name of South Houston, or SoHo. Joyce talks about how the neighborhood dates back to the mid 1600s, and how it went from a hilly neighborhood to a very leveled place. Joyce continues about how SoHo became one of the most residential places in 1820s, and turned to shopping, industries, and today we know it for art. Joyce continues about the history of shopping in the neighborhood, and mentions the history of the African Grove Theater. Jeff and Joyce go back and forth with other industries that got their start in SoHo. Segment 2 Joyce talks about the tours that she has coming up, including one of the Bowery, a Gilded Age tour, and tour of Greenwich Village. Jeff brings up the architectural structures in SoHo, and Joyce continues about the popular cast iron architecture in the 1850's, and the process it took to create these structures. Joyce brings up the Haughwout building in SoHo, and the excitement around the first elevator. She continues by talking about the evolution of structures in SoHo, and mentions the Puck Building and all it’s been used for. Joyce talks about city planner, Robert Moses, and how artists began to come to the neighborhood. Segment 3 Jeff returns with mentioning sponsors, followed by a plug of Good Morning New York with Vince Rocco. Introduction of second guest, Charles Leslie. Jeff gives a brief overview of Charles’ different contributions to the queer arts communities, and an introduction of Charles himself. Jeff discusses Charles’ inspiration for leaving home and early life to his experience in Europe. Jeff focuses briefly on Charles’ time in Marrakech after the revolution. Charles moved to SoHo after discovering a passion for film editing, as real estate was plentiful and accessible. Charles discusses his impact on zoning of SoHo. Jeff and Charles discuss his interest, collection, and exhibition of gay art, drawing inspiration to greco-roman nudes. The two transition to Charles’ experience with and diffusing of the Stonewall riot. Jeff returns to Charles’ exhibition shows of gay art and the increase in frequency following the events of Stonewall. Culminating in the formation of a commercial art museum (Leslie-Lohman Museum). Segment 4 Returns with the current exhibits at the Leslie-Lohman Museum - record of what happened after stonewall. Jeff transitions to the AIDS crisis and the subsequent temporary closing of the museum. Leslie and Fritz has worked quite successfully to the preservation of endangered gay art. Charles speaks of the popularization of larger canvas work, for commercial purposes, and thus the search for larger spaces to work. Artists would often buy large spaces for not very much money. Jeff and Charles speaks of the current “vibe” of SoHo and the change that brought this new vibe. Charles remarks of how SoHo has become more of a comfortable and clean neighborhood, though there is no clear future of the neighborhood. Jeff and Charles closes with any tips for landlords in the SoHo area - “think twice about retail space”.

A history instructor at an Austin charter school told a Black student that she would “hang her upside down on a tree” and “take her down when she is no longer breathing.” The school has written a letter formally apologizing, but has so far refused to fire, suspend, or even investigate the teacher’s conduct. The teacher is still actively working and has attended school events that the student has also attended. What are the larger implications for school accountability and what steps are being taken to ensure a safe learning environment for Austin students?We are joined by Arenda Lawson, the mother of the student who was threatened, and by Chas Moore, the Executive Director of the Austin Justice Coalition, which is circulating a petition on social media to the school to hold the teacher accountable.Later, we commemorate the Stonewall Rebellion that occurred 49 years ago on June 28, 1969. The uprising marked a clear turning point in the struggle for LGBTQ rights. As Pride parades are now held across the country, where are the new points of struggle for LGBTQ liberation today, and what lessons can we learn from Stonewall? For this segment, we are joined by Jorge Gutierrez, National Coordinator for Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement.
