Drummer Presents Some “Found” Prose ©Jack from the Red Queen, Arthur Evans by Jack Fritscher This entire editoral "Butch Enough?" is also available in Acrobat pdf. Author's historical introduction Actual editorial as published Illustrations AUTHOR'S HISTORICAL CONTEXT INTRODUCTION Produced September 1978, and publishedFritscher in Drummer 25, December 1978. This piece is about Gay Civil War in the Titanic ’70s. For all its entertainment value, Drummer was a timely test-bed for purposeful versions and visions of the gay-liberation dream unfolding. Some misunderstand homomasculinity as if it were an absolute. When I coined the term in 1972, I meant not masculinity as a power tool of male privilege or male entitlement, but rather a masculinity whose identity was in traditionally masculine goodness in the Latin sense of virtue, which comes from the Latin word vir, meaning man, causing virtue to be the quality of a man, and that was quintessence I sought to define in my coinage. I published this article written by the Red Queen, Arthur Evans, for a reason of political “authenticity” just as I recommend the “authentic” political analysis of unfolding gender ambiguities made by David Van Leer in his benchmark book of the years between World War II and Stonewall, The Queening of America: Gay Culture in a Straight Society. In the gay civil wars of the ’70s, I respected Arthur Evans’ representing one kind of “authentic” queening and queering.

  • Sip-In" That Drew from the Civil Rights Movement by History.Com, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 11.07.19 Word Count 887 Level 1020L
    The gay "sip-in" that drew from the civil rights movement By History.com, adapted by Newsela staff on 11.07.19 Word Count 887 Level 1020L Image 1. A bartender in Julius's Bar refuses to serve John Timmins, Dick Leitsch, Craig Rodwell and Randy Wicker, members of the Mattachine Society, an early American gay rights group, who were protesting New York liquor laws that prevented serving gay customers on April 21, 1966. Photo from: Getty Images/Fred W. McDarrah. In 1966, on a spring afternoon in Greenwich Village, three men set out to change the political and social climate of New York City. After having gone from one bar to the next, the men reached a cozy tavern named Julius'. They approached the bartender, proclaimed they were gay and then requested a drink, but were promptly denied service. The trio had accomplished their goal: their "sip-in" had begun. The men belonged to the Mattachine Society, an early organization dedicated to fighting for gay rights. They wanted to show that bars in the city discriminated against gay people. Discrimination against the gay community was a common practice at the time. Still, this discrimination was less obvious than the discriminatory Jim Crow laws in the South that forced racial segregation. Bartenders Refused Service To Gay Couples This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. A person's sexual orientation couldn't be detected as easily as a person's sex or race. With that in mind, the New York State Liquor Authority, a state agency that controls liquor sales, took action.

SAGE SAGE Reference © 2021 by SAGE Publications, Inc. Individuals who crossdress have always been a part of the trans community and, in fact, were instrumental in the formation of the trans and the larger LGBTQIA+ rights movements. Although some crossdressers do not align themselves with the larger trans community, most do, and they have historically been among the most prominent members of the community. The crossdressing population may be less visible today, but they remain important contributors to many trans social and political groups. The First “Trans” People Individuals who presented as a gender different from what they were assigned at birth first began to be described as “trans” by the pioneering sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld, who coined the word transvestites—from the Latin trans or “across” and vestis or “clothing”—in his 1910 book with that title. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Hirschfeld recognized that transvestism was not a form of psychopathology, nor were most of those who engaged in crossdressing attracted to others of the same sex or doing so for erotic pleasure.

(2018) ‘They’ve lost that wounded look’: Stonewall and the struggle for LGBT+ rights, Critical and Radical Social Work, vol 6, no 1, 35–50" is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1332/204986018X15199226335132. ‘They've lost that wounded look’: Stonewall and the struggle for LGBT+rights Nicola Field Abstract This paper focuses on the Stonewall Riots, a key episode in the struggle for LGBT+ rights. LGBT+ people in the USA in the 1960s were seen as a sick, and endured extreme state repression. The cost to isolated individuals, frequently rejected by their families, was devastating. Excluded from public sector jobs, criminalised, imprisoned, they were subjected to agonising ‘cures’ and persecuted by police. The paper explores the terrifying context and radicalising impact of the Stonewall Riots which erupted in New York in June 1969. That historic uprising transformed existing defence campaigns into a militant political movement for LGBT+ liberation and ignited an unstoppable 50-year fight against state repression and for equality. Inspired by the Black Panthers, the first ‘Gay Power’ militants envisaged a society not just tolerant of sexual and gender minorities, but transformed in its social attitudes towards homosexuality, bisexuality, and trans and genderfluid lives. Introduction The massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in 2016 was a sharp reminder that LGBT+ people are on the receiving end of extraordinary levels of oppression. It’s not safe to walk the streets.

Vicky West (in center of photograph) at the transgender community, I have presented slide shows at hotel swimming pool, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1978. a variety of conferences during the past 30 years. I have varied the slide shows according to the audience and, to challenge myself, asked various questions about my art. What fresh visual connections can I make? How do my newest images relate to earlier series? Shall I focus on indi- vidual heroes and heroines—community leaders—or on dramatic historical events that galvanized people to rethink their lives and demand policy changes? Is it appro- priate to show body images and surgery? Should I focus on youth and relationships? What about speaking of my life as an artist and how it connects to the transgender community? Long before I knowingly met a transgender person, I pondered such questions as, Why are certain character traits assigned to men or to women? and Are these traits in different directions except for one person, Vicky West, immutable or culturally defined? My cultural anthropol- who focused straight back at me. As I peered through the ogy studies offered some theories, but it was not until camera lens, I had the feeling that I was looking at nei- 1978, when I visited New Orleans for Mardi Gras, that I ther a man nor a woman but at the essence of a human came face to face with the opportunity to explore gender being; right then, I decided that I must have this person identity issues through personal experience.

    Gay Activists Alliance by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The Gay Activists Alliance was formed in 1969 with the goal of working through the political system to secure and defend the rights of gay men and lesbians. The founders of the Gay Activists Alliance (GAA) were members of the Gay Liberation Front who had become dissatisfied with the direction that the organization had taken. The Gay Liberation Front had allied itself with the Black Panther Party and was active in the movement against the war in Vietnam. Its leaders preached a radical political agenda, including the overthrow of capitalism. Arthur Evans, Jim Owles, and Marty Robinson were among the first activists to consider a break with the Gay Liberation Front. In December 1969 they convened a group of approximately twenty people in the New York apartment of Evans's lover Arthur Bell and organized their new association. Other original members included Kay Tobin Lahusen, Vito Russo, and Morty Manford, whose parents, Jeanne and Jules Manford, founded P-FLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). A central tenet of the GAA was that they would devote their activities solely and specifically to gay and lesbian rights. Furthermore, they would work within the political system, seeking to abolish discriminatory sex laws, promoting gay and lesbian civil rights, and challenging politicians and candidates to state their views on gay rights issues. Owles was chosen to be the first president of the GAA. The political tactics of the GAA included "zaps"--public confrontations with officials that sought to draw media attention.

    3. BROKEN WINDOWS AT BLUE’S: A QUEER HISTORY OF GENTRIFICATION AND POLICING Christina B. Hanhardt On September 29, 1982, over thirty New York City police officers raided Blue’s, a bar in Manhattan’s Times Square. The following year, activist James Credle testified at congressional hearings on police misconduct, describing the brutal beatings of the Black and Latino gay men, and trans people who made up the bar’s main clientele.1 The event galvanized lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activists for whom police violence was a primary concern. Although one mention of a rally made it into the New York Times, Credle noted in his testimony that the incident itself had been ignored by major media outlets, an insult certainly made worse by the fact that the bar sat across the street from the Times’s own headquarters.2 Gay activist and journalist Arthur Bell wrote a front-page story about the raid for the alternative weekly the Village Voice. In it, he quoted Inspector John J. Martin, commanding officer of the Midtown South Precinct, who described Blue’s as “a very troublesome bar” with “a lot of undesirables” and “a place that transvestites are drawn to … probably for narcotics use.” Bell also noted the striking contrast between the raid and another press-worthy event held that same night: a black tie dinner, $150 a plate, sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign Fund (HRCF), a gay and lesbian political action committee, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel with a keynote by former vice president Walter Mondale.3 Years earlier, Bell had written about a much more famous police raid and response, which had taken place at the Stonewall Inn bar on June 28, 1969.
