GAY PRI 101: A BEGNER’S GUI TO GAY PRI PARA
Origally, march took place on the last Sunday June as Gay Pri Day or Christopher Street Gay Liberatn Day, but later spread out across the month and ntued as a tradn over the past half-century until arrived at you!
Here’s what happened: Bee homosexualy was crimalized and overpoliced the Uned Stat at that time, gay bars like Stonewall were vert operatns typilly owned by straight people – or this se, The New York Mafia. Suated a low-e area known for s unrground art scene, Stonewall was a hot spot for butch lbians, gay men, transgenr people, and drag queens – pecially those of lor – so tensns creased once police found out and took actn.
Addnally, as anti-LGBTQIA+ legislature, such as the “Don’t Say Gay Bill, ” ntue to ga tractn, and LGBTQIA+ books are banned school librari and curriculums, a month to celebrate queerns and advote for social jtice is necsary – pecially if we want to see a future where children n live long enough to be themselv and validate adults who survived the trma of beg the closet. It tersects and tertw wh other forms of opprsn, like racism, classism, patriarchy, and homophobia, and nnot be unwoven om them.
