Even the classic, non-leathery gay bar -- the drag queen palace, the queer dive, the limp-wristed cktail lounge, gossip central -- is rapidly beg a artifact of years past, pre-Grdr nostalgia: a throwback to that simpler time before we found sex partners wh a simple click.

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 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).

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. 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).

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).

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.

One rult was an explosn of public sex amongst gay and bisexual men, snas, backrooms, parti; another was a flowerg of life experiments, as the 1969 generatn explored new typ of relatnships, new ways of livg sexually, challengg taboos around bodi, age, genr appearance, promiscuy, partnership, and love.

Sexual liberatn was for many the sence, the very meang of gay liberatn, and later years many survivors of that first generatn lamented new emphas wh the movement on lbian and gay parentg, same-sex marriage, and chosen fai as an abandonment of that foundg spiratn. In 1977 a nservative Christian aln onted by Ana Bryant (a sger and brand ambassador for the Florida Cs Commissn) lnched a mpaign to repeal a recently-passed civil rights ordance Da County which prohibed anti-gay discrimatn hog, employment, and public acmodatn.

The “Save Our Children” mpaign argued that the ordance vlated Bryant’s relig eedom, revived long-standg views that homosexuals were dangero and immoral, and synthized a new moral panic that gay schoolteachers would “nvert” and “sexually molt children” (Endr, 2009; Rosky, 2021; Si, 1977).
