MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

    Michael Levine and the Stonewall Rebellion

    Michael Levine and the Stonewall Rebellion Introduction to the Interview (Running Time: 2:26) Michael Levine was at a popular gay bar in New York City in June 1969 when it was surrounded by police. At the time, the vice squad routinely raided and emptied gay bars. Patrons usually complied with the police—frightened at being identified publicly. But this particular Friday night was different because patrons at the Stonewall Inn stood their ground. They clashed—during what became known as the Stonewall Rebellion. Here, Michael Levine reflects with his friend, Matt Merlin, on what happened that night. Questions to Discuss with Students Following the Interview • Why did a “deafening silence” occur at the Stonewall Inn on the night Michael describes? What did this signal to the LGBT patrons at that time and place? • Why do you think the police targeted the Stonewall Inn? Do you think it was illegal for LGBT people to congregate in a bar at that time? • On the third night of the rebellion, Michael says, “We stood there on the street and held hands and kissed—something we would never have done three days earlier.” Why wouldn’t he have done this before the Stonewall Rebellion? What changed in that short space of time? Why did Michael feel so proud he had “chills”? • How did the Stonewall Rebellion change Michael’s relationship with his family? Why do you think he never disclosed his sexual identity to them and why do you think they never asked about his identity? • What does Michael mean when he says, “I didn’t feel that I was a different person…I felt the world is now more comfortable with me.” How did the Stonewall Rebellion change the lives of individuals? How did it change the world? Suggested Activities and Assignments for Extended Learning • Help students to understand the interconnections among various civil rights movements from the 1950s to the 1970s.

He’s danced for some of the Alizay Z Paige on cap- greats such as Erica Andrews, Layla turing the title of Miss Larue, Sasha Andrews, Tersa Gay Oklahoma USofA Mathews and even myself. And that and congrats to first is just to name a few. He also com- alternate Franchesqua peted for Mr. Gay Texas Minaj. I happen to sit USofA numerous times and always next to Alizay the first made top twelve. He had a great night and struck up a love for drag and the stage and al- conversation about ways had a smile on his face.
