Q .a2K& a 'i?61 Outspoken ,Pride" Protest he drums of the Big Apple cbrps echoed across the Great Lawn in Central Park last weekend as the 20th Annual Lesbian and Gay Pride Rally began. Soon their, rhythms, began to clash with a different beat, faint at first and then louder, the sound of hundreds , of AIDS activists chanting as they entered the mead- • ow with signs, flags and the paraphernalia of protest. The two ' conflicting rhythms coexisted uneasily for a few moments. Then the band stopped playing and the activists briefly took the field. \ But after a few more moments the chanting subsided, the rally absorbed its new memrn:rs, the band began playing again, and the afternoon continued as before. Thus it was all over the city last week, as the proponents of celebration collided with the proponents of protest, only to find that there was room in the weekend's events for both ideas and both visionsI to coexist. The main event of the weekend, staged with professionalism, skill and joy by Heritage of Pride, was an extraordinary reminder ,to lesbians and gays, our friends, and indeed our enemies, of what a vast and established movement we have become. From • the once undreamt of renaming of Stonewall Place, to the U.S. • 'Postal Service's gay stamp cancellation, to the tumultuous and • moving marches up Sixth Avenue on Saturday and down Fifth Avenue on Sunday, to the exploding fireworks over the Hudson River, we showed New York and ourselves that we are indeed proud and out and never going back. Several years ago, when the dimensions of the AIDSepidemic became apparent, many predicted the death of our movement. They said that AIDS would put us all back in the closet, that, a new generation would mature equating gay with death, never • • knOWingthe freedom and openness of the 70s. Instead, our movemtnt has triumphed in u'nexpected ways. Major new organizations like ACf UP and GLAADhave given new dimensions to empowerment and activism. Groups like GMHC and the People with AIDS Coalition have demonstrated our 1<;)Vingandcaring ways. Thousands of smaller, local groups proclaim by their presence that we're out for good, and we're never going back, no matter what. None of this mitigates the need for protest. Our movement began with a riot, and the criminal neglect and ineptitude of soci- , ety's response to our issues warrants, indeed demands, that we continue on a course of defiance. Such a course must include politicians like Mayor Koch, who has alternately neglected our community and used it as a sol!rce of political opportunism.

  • LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing
    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing Black people have been killed, Black people are dying at the hands of police, our country is in crisis, and we all need to take action. We cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot acquiesce, and we cannot assign responsibility to others. We, as leaders in the LGBTQ movement, must rise up and call for structural change, for divestment of police resources and reinvestment in communities, and for long-term transformational change. Now is the time to take action, and this letter amplifies our strong calls for urgent and immediate action to be taken. Ongoing police brutality and systemic racism have plagued this nation for generations and have been captured on video and laid bare to the public in the United States and around the world. In 2019, more than 1,000 people were killed at the hands of the police.1 We mourn the unacceptable and untimely deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Mya Hall, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and many more who were gone too soon. We have seen with increased frequency the shocking video footage of police brutality. Officers have been recorded instigating violence, screaming obscenities, dragging individuals out of cars, using unnecessary force, holding individuals at gunpoint, and kneeling on peoples’ necks to the desperate plea of “I can’t breathe.” These occurrences are stark reminders of a police system that needs structural changes, deconstruction, and transformation. No one should fear for their lives when they are pulled over by the police.

    Queer Texts and the Cold War: How Nationalism and Domesticity Shaped U.S. Lesbian and Gay Writing, 1945-1960 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota and the Department of American Studies by Angela E. Galik In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2009 Dr. Edén Torres, Advisor Copyright © Angela E. Galik, June 2009. Acknowledgements The best part of completing this dissertation is that I get to reflect with joy and gratitude on the many people who have helped and supported me in my journey through graduate school, through the development and writing of the dissertation itself, and through all the surprises and transitions that Life came up with along the way. I offer my most sincere and humble thanks and appreciation to all of those people now, with the faith that if I accidentally forget to mention any names, my gratitude will nonetheless be felt by all who have contributed to my success. The faculty in American Studies and English (and a few other fields) with whom I have had the great privilege to work during my years at the University of Minnesota are truly beyond compare. I cannot imagine a more passionate, committed, brilliant group of professors. Most importantly and most remarkably, not only are the American Studies faculty accomplished and well-respected scholars, each and every one of them are also dedicated to graduate education and supportive of graduate students themselves. At every stage, I knew that I could trust my professors not only to challenge me, but also to help me to refine my thinking, polish my writing, expand my awareness, narrow my questions, own my arguments, and send my work out into the world.
