    This is a post-peer-review, pre-copy edited version of an article published in Critical and Radical Social Work. The definitive publisher-authenticated version "Field, N. (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.

While every day is a time to be proud of your identity and orientation, June is that extra special time for boldly celebrating with and for the LGBTQIA community (yes, there are more than lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender in the queer community). June was chosen to honor the Stonewall Riots which happened in 1969. Like other celebratory months, LGBT Pride Month started as a weeklong series of events and expanded into a full month of festivities. In honor of Pride Month, UCF Library faculty and staff suggested books, movies and music from the UCF collection that represent a wide array of queer authors and characters. Additional events at UCF in June include “UCF Remembers” which is a week-long series of events to commemorate the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in 2016. Keep Reading below to see the full list, descriptions, and catalog links for the 20 titles by or about people in the LGBTQIA community suggested by UCF Library employees.

The hand-painted, 34-foot float features more than a million golden—as in golden anniversary—“eyelashes,” 1,700 feet of rainbow ribbon and almost 42,000 square inches of Styrofoam. “We are proud to join the worldwide celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots through a unique collaboration with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld Fund,” said Jeff Guaracino, president and CEO, VISIT PHILADELPHIA. “This is the first time that the history of the LGBTQ community will be told comprehensively and authoritatively to the world through mass media. Our city has played an essential role in this civil rights movement, and we’ve worked hard to let people know they are always welcome in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.” LGBTQ pioneers and Annual Reminder participants will ride on the float alongside younger members of the LGBTQ community, symbolizing unity, equality and the impact that all generations continue to have on the movement.

    How gay activists challenged the politics of civility By The Smithsonian Institute, adapted by Newsela staff on 11.07.19 Word Count 1,036 Level 1040L Image 1. The city of Raleigh, North Carolina held its first Gay Pride celebration on June 25, 1988. Photo from: Flickr/State Archives of North Carolina. On April 13, 1970, New York Mayor John Lindsay and his wife arrived at the Metropolitan Opera House. It was opening night of the season. The Republican mayor had no idea he was about to be ambushed by members of the newly formed Gay Activist Alliance (GAA). The protesters entered the event in tuxedos and shouted, "End Police Harassment!" and "Gay Power!" A year earlier, newspaper headlines were covering the Stonewall Riots. These riots happened between members of the gay community and police because of a raid at the Stonewall Inn. The Inn was a gay bar in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan. For most of the 20th century, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) Americans were unwelcome in society. They were forced to hide their sexuality, and many laws prohibited their activities. In the 1970s things began to change. Employment Discrimination This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. Lindsay had refused to enact a citywide anti-discrimination law after the riots. During the next two years, gay rights activists confronted the mayor in public. In 1972 Lindsay finally relented. He signed an executive order to forbid discriminating against job candidates for city government jobs based on sexual orientation. For the next three decades the gay liberation movement continued to confront public figures.
