THE SHORT BUT FASCATG HISTORY OF “BE GAY, DO CRIM”

The gay/trans panic legal fense legimiz and exc vlent and lethal behavr agast members of the LGBTQ+ muny. The fense is fed by the LGBT Bar as “a legal strategy which asks a jury to fd that a victim’s sexual orientatn or genr inty is to blame for the fendant’s vlent reactn, cludg murr.” * let's be gay let's do crimes *

Ah, y: “Be Gay, Do Crim, ” the rallyg cry of a generatn.

This is the first stance of “Be Gay, Do Crim” beg tied to a specific iology. Soon after, another Twter er (@isislovecft) told a story about two kids jumpg the BART turnstyle and shoutg “be gay, do crim. jt saw two teenage girls hop the bart turnstile and n up the stairs and start makg out and i uldn’t rist the urge to shout BE GAY DO CRIMES and they raised their fists and shouted back STONEWALL WAS A RIOT so i am rmg you that the kids are fact alright.

BE GAY DO CRIM

While 2016’s “be gay, do crim” was enough of a statement and of self to ri on shock value, 2018’s “Stonewall was a rt” reprents a new sire to reclaim queer narrativ.

Be Gay.

QUEER TE CRIME STORI OF THE PAST SHOW HOW THE PRS STOKED FEAR OF GAY MEN

Beg gay has always volved dog crim: ’s a sad, but ccial part of our history. Wrten for Pri Month 2018, Be Gay Do Crim tak all the fun of dog heists and b wh the evable csh formed wh a queer social group. Acrdg to Polch, a cultural historian and profsor of global liberal studi at New York Universy, the victim blamg evint acunts of Ivar’s murr was typil of the way the prs vered crim agast gay or prumed-gay men between World War I and the Stonewall uprisg 1969.

In the early and mid-20th century, gay and bisexual men were pecially vulnerable to vlence. But crim agast gay men were rarely reported as such the prs. What he found was a trove of what he lls queer te crime stori — some ont-page news at the time, some buried and long fotten — that chart a history of vlence agast gay men and of society’s attus toward that vlence.

THE GAY/TRANS PANIC DEFENSE: WHAT IT IS, AND HOW TO END IT

Crime stori, he told me, n reveal “a set of cultural anxieti and uncertati” — and the stori he read for Incent Advanc reveal Amerin society’s evolvg but ever-prent anxieti about gay men and their liv the s before Stonewall. ” We see their echo, he says, the murrs of trans women of lor, often unrreported by the mastream prs, and “the ntued e of gay nversn therapy, which replays post–World War II arguments that homosexualy is a ndn that n be (and should be) cured. Are we lookg at targeted crim agast gay men, or are we lookg at somethg else?

It’s clear, I thk, that gay men were targets bee [perpetrators] knew they uld be robbed or asslted wh ltle nsequenc. Mostly bee homosexualy was crimalized. It’s unclear whether they were themselv kd of nformg to standards of the time and had some homosexual hookups ocsnally, or whether they were bisexual, or some kd of fluid sexualy.

But what do show, I thk, is how crimalizg homosexual acts, you don’t jt target men who are livg their liv as gay men, but you affect a whole range of sexual practic. When you talk about gay men beg vulnerable, is that bee many would be aaid of gog to the police after a robbery or asslt bee they themselv would be crimalized?

At that time, sodomy laws crimalized homosexual behavr, so you uldn’t really fd any reurse the jtice system.

HE KNOWS EVERYTHG ABOUT YOU, OM YOUR DARKT SECRETS TO YOUR MOST HOPEFUL DREAMS. HE READS YOU LIKE AN OPEN BOOK, HE’S MET YOUR PARENTS, YOUR IENDS LOVE HIM – BUT YOU KNOW NOTHG ABOUT HIM. HE REF TO TELL YOU ABOUT HIS PARENTS, LET ALONE MEET THEM, HE STEERS YOU CLEAR OF HIS IENDS, HE WON’T EVEN TELL YOU HIS SISTER’S NAME. HE REF ANY TALK ABOUT HIS EMOTNS, AND KEEPS YOU AT A DISTANCE, BARELY HOLDG ON; LIKE HE ULD LET GO OF YOU ANY TIME. YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHG ABOUT HIM TO LOVE HIM, SO STOP PRYG. HATA SHOYO DIDN’T KNOW THAT RELATNSHIPS E WH PROBLEMS. HIS ABILY TO M FALTERS WHEN YOU BOTH H A ROUGH SPOT; ’S JT SO MUCH EASIER TO GO AND PLAY BEACH VOLLEYBALL WH HIS IENDS THAN AL WH THE ISSU AT HAND. HIS MD THGS SHOULD GO SMOOTHLY – THERE’S NO NEED TO FIGHT TO GROW. YOU’RE NOT KAGEYAMA, AND LOVE ISN’T VOLLEYBALL – THERE SHOULD’T BE PROBLEMS. LOVE SHOULD BE EASY, SIMPLE, MDLS. THE FACT THAT YOU TWO ARE EVEN GOG THROUGH ISSU…MAYBE YOU TWO AREN’T MA FOR EACH OTHER LIKE HE ORIGALLY THOUGHT. BOKUTO KOTARO DON’T UNRSTAND THE NCEPT OF SPACE.

TO HIM, THERE’S NO NNECTN BETWEEN HIS NONCHALANT TREATMENT OF YOU AND YOUR AVOIDANCE OF HIM. WHY N’T YOU SEE THAT HE LOV YOU? ARE YOU THAT DUMB? OR DO YOU JT NOT LOVE HIM BACK? IWAIZUMI HAJIME REF TO SHOW VULNERABILY. JT DON’T S RIGHT WH HIM – HE WANTS TO BE MANLY FOR YOU. HE WANTS YOU TO RELY ON HIM. HE DON’T WANT TO CRY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR, HE DON’T WANT TO SHOW ANY WEAK SPOTS HE MIGHT HAVE. BUT WHY ARE YOU SO CLOSED-OFF LATELY? WHY AREN’T YOU TALKG TO HIM AS MUCH, YOU KNOW YOU N TELL HIM ANYTHG, RIGHT? HE DON’T SEE THAT RELATNSHIPS ARE GIVE AND TAKE. HIS LACK OF WILL TO GIVE TRANSLAT TO A WEAK AND AYED RELATNSHIP.
