GAY PRI

All’epo si chiamava «Christopher Street Gay Liberatn Day March» e memorava i moti di Stonewall: le rivolte sppiate Christopher Street, nel Greenwich Village di New York, quando la polizia provò a far chiure lo Stonewall Inn, un pub gto dalla mafia e equentato da gay, lbiche, travte e transgenr.

Come Mark Segal, uno i primi attivisti l Gay Liberatn Front: «È stato rivoluznar e oti e tutto quello che abbiamo fatto il primo anno dopo i disordi di Stonewall» racnta.

GAY PRI

169 persone si riversarono strada ntando slogan sulla liberazne gay, n addosso stumi di Halloween, «o quasi niente», rri allegorici fai-da-te raffiguranti vasi di vasela e un uomo gay su una croce. Senza assicurazne sanaria negli Usa sta oltre duea dollari al me ed è accsibile a gran parte gli uomi gay di lore che hanno i tassi di ntag più alti.

Nel lole di Stonewall Inn Christopher Street, nel Greenwich Village di Manhattan, avvenne una retata lla polizia che sottopose gli avventori l pub a uianti perquisizni, fatte per accertare che gay, lbiche, travti e transgenr dossassero almeno tre dumenti rrisponnti al propr sso e preveva la legge, dal momento che il drscrossg — la prati cè di vtire al ntrar rispetto al genere rinosciuto dalla legge — era Gay Pri ha orige dal moto di protta di Stonewall Inn l 28 giugno Eason//Getty ImagQuti abi erano purtroppo equenti e nsenti dalla legge, ma quella sera per la prima volta la unà Lgbtq+ cise di ribellarsi e un'allora gvanissima Sylvia Rivera, che sarebbe divenuta famosa nell'ambo ll'attivismo per i dirti transgenr, lanciò una srpa ntro la polizia. Da un sentimento di ranre ed asperazne (all'iz la maniftazne era chiamata "Christopher Street Gay Liberatn Day March") qute protte si tramutarono, a partire dal 1970, vere e proprie celebrazni ll'intà gay, da tenrsi non più e qualsa di sbagliato da nasnre e ndannare, ma e una lle tante clazni lla Natura, che per tutte le sue specie, anche quella umana, ha previsto la diversà bandiera arbaleno è stata disegnata dall’artista e attivista gilbert baker nel McNew//Getty ImagI lori lla bandiera arbaleno, disegnata dall'artista e attivista Gilbert Baker e dal 1978 simbolo l Gay Pri, voglno rapprentare propr quta liberazne, quta gia di mostrarsi per quello che si è, senza temere pregiudizi, od e discrimazne da parte lla società, che per troppo tempo ha imposto regole e nvenzni su e le persone dovsero portarsi o vtire, obbligando migliaia di omossuali e transgenr a vergognarsi lle proprie clazni e a temere il giudiz gli altri.

Per quto è necsar mantenere la guardia alta e schierarsi sempre dalla parte i dirti civili, anche partecipando all'annuale parata gay, che da 51 anni rapprenta una rottura gsa n il passato, un modo ftoso per rirdare a se stsi e al mondo le proprie libertà fondamentali e un gran emp di e sia possibile trasformare una narrazne discrimatoria e tossi una narrazne di gia. Erano passati tre anni dalla sidtta “rivolta di Stonewall”, i due grni cui a New York nacque, di fatto, il movimento di liberazne gay nel mondo e lo tendiamo oggi, e l’Italia, n Sanremo, divenne un nuovo onte ldo: grnali e telegrnali dirono alla protta amp spaz e la maniftazne ebbe risalto ternaznale, diventando una sorta di “Stonewall aliana”. E a Sanremo, ctà cui tutto è parto nel non poi sì lontano 1972, sabato 9 aprile si è tenuto il primo Sanremo Pri anizzato da Arcigay al motto di “L’ogl torna a Sanremo”.

È stato istuo seguo ai Moti di Stonewall, una rivolta spontanea che si svolse a New York per alcuni grni a partire dal 28 giugno l 1969, data cui la polizia fece irzne nello Stonewall Inn, un bar gay l Greenwich Village. Harvey Milk, il primo poli apertamente omossuale eletto negli Usa, ricò l’artista Gilbert Baker di creare un simbolo per la unà gay, da utilizzare al posto i triangolo rosa imposto dai nazisti nei mpi di ncentramento.

L sta per “lbian”, G per gay, B per “bisexual”; T per “transgenr”, Q per “Queer”, un aggettivo che letteralmente signifi “eccentri” e che pren tutti quelli che non sono eterossuali e cisgenr.

The LGBTQ+ rights movement has ma tremendo stris over the past few s and much of the progrs visibily is thanks part to gay pri paras and march that have taken place ci around the world.
