WHAT EXACTLY IS THE GAY LEATHER PRI FLAG, AND WHAT DO IT MEAN?

The naive belief that sex is simply an born stct still exerts s power, but most gay men and lbians know that the sex they have was not nate or entirely of their own makg, but learned—learned by participatg, scen of talk as well as of fuckg. It is now jeopardy even wh the gay movement, as gay men and lbians are more and more drawn to a moralizg that chim wh homophobic stereotype, wh a wizened utopianism that nf our matury wh marriage to the law, and perhaps most sidly of all, wh the privatizatn of sex the fantasy that mass-mediated belongg uld ever substute for the public world of a sexual culture.

Meanwhile, mastream lbian and gay activism grew more stutnalized and creasgly emphasized morate requts for civil rights—as the 1993 March on Washgton—while leather, bisexual, and trans people ntued to ph for cln the movement (Warner, 1999).

In 1979, the “Gays Unr 21” ntgent SF mand to have their rights taken serly by both straight and gay adults, who were “acceptg straights’ posn that young people have no sexualy, ” and “excludg om the larger gay muny” (Gays Unr 21 Contgent, 1979). The origs of gay leather the Uned Stat are somewhat unclear, but popular acunts discs a wave of gay men who were discharged om the ary followg World War II, bed wh a rebell, mascule image of black-clad motorcycle gangs the 1950s (Addison, 2012). The LAPD raid the Black Cat 1967 (beatg patrons and pturg one bartenr’s spleen), a Homophile Effort for Legal Protectn fundraiser at the Black Pipe 1972, and the Mark IV baths “slave ctn” fundraiser for gay chari 1976: an effort which volved roughly a hundred officers, two helipters, a dozen vehicl (Los Angel Leather History, 2021; Rub, 1982b; S.

Marc (1986) scribed police harassment of “leather fags” San Francis, LAPD nducted a seri of raids of leather bars 1988 (Los Angel Leather History, 2021), and 1987 Operatn Spanner began Bra: an effort which would ta hundreds of gay men and charge dozens of nsensual players wh “asslt” and “unlawful woundg”—16 were nvicted and eight imprisoned (S.

In January of 1970, Perry had officiated a weddg ceremony for two lbians (Warner, 1999), led 250 homosexuals a march for police reform LA (Los Angel Leather History, 2021), and a hunger actn on the steps of the LA Feral Buildg for gay rights (Los Angel Leather History, 2021).

Cycle MC (a NYC gay motorcycle club) participated New York’s first Pri para 1970 (Hardy, 2003b; Los Angel Leather History, 2021), and a leather-clad motorcycle briga ro Harleys Los Angel that same year, which “tend to shock straight spectators to silence” (The Advote, 1970). By 1986 the Society of Jan, the Outsts (a lbian S/M group) and the 15 Associatn (a gay male S/M group) joed forc an official S/M muny ntgent (Rub, 2015), fieldg more than a hundred marchers and nng a booth at Civic Center plaza (Bay Area SM Communy, 1986, 1987).

A flurry of articl explored the dynamics of assiatnism vs radil exprsn, of Branis’ inty as a trans dyke vs the predomantly cis gay men who opposed the performance, and of the difference between an east ast leather culture eager for tablishment acceptance vs a wt ast leather culture which embraced rebell self-exprsn. In the US, the moral panic of the “Lavenr Sre” and McCarthye purg of homosexuals durg the 1950s ma this activism hazardo, and homophile anizatns proceed ( very broad terms) wh assiatnist utn: nouncg gay men’s “swish” mannerisms and pursu of sex.

In the late 1960s, the nascent gay liberatn movement (particularly New York) began to cultivate media ntacts the mastream and alternative prs: articl Harpers and Village Voice began to discs homosexual issu (Armstrong & Crage, 2006).

Misters om the Council held a prs nference followg the event and lled out the police partment, the ACLU fend the victims, and meetgs between police and homophile activists “dramatilly curtailed” police harassment (Armstrong & Crage, 2006; Penngton, 1988). The Annual Remr (and other civil rights actns unrtaken by LGBTQ activists durg the send half of the 1960s) tablished a pattern of anized, visible, and annual march for lbian and gay rights: another key technology for the velopment of Pri.

This was no refully planned, super-straight picketg monstratn of 20 or 30 overdrsed and severely middle-class homosexuals; nor was a p-out, like the “mass meetg” held by a self-styled homosexual lear unr the Arch Washgton Square Park—plete wh hymn-sgg, speakers, and an dience of 40 or 50 tourists om Peoria…. ” In tratn, Craig Rodwell, Fred Sargeant, Ellen Broidy, and Lda Rhos proposed a change at the Eastern Regnal Conference of Homophile Organizatns (ERCHO) Philalphia: that the Annual Remr be moved to New York Cy on the anniversary of the Stonewall rebelln, and that be open to all ag and manners of drs (Bce, 2016; Sargeant, 2010).

GAY PRIS 2023 AND 2024

Organizers leveraged the works and mailg lists of lol homophile anizatns as well as the nascent gay prs to cement the importance of Stonewall, and reached out to homophile anizatns across the US to plan the first Pri march (Armstrong & Crage, 2006; Bce, 2016). In 1970, The GAA’s Street Theatre Submtee argued that sce gay liberatn’s aim was to produce a culture where rpect is afford to those wh unnventnal sexual exprsn, the most effective thg to do was to champn the most unnventnal type of homosexual: homosexual transvt. The 1970s immediately followg Stonewall was a perd of mass sexual experimentatn the major urban ci where gay life flourished—explorg pleasure multiple forms, and different patterns of relatnship, many different venu, challengg the reproductive and monogamo norms of the culture, throwg light on what had been a dark secret, nfed to shameful silence, the all too recent past.
