My favorite Stonewall story is that one of the people arrested was folk guitarist Dave Van Ronk, who, as far as I know, was NOT gay, but as a New Yorker saw a bunch of hippies throwing bricks at cops and thought "I gotta get in on this"
Itâs so sad that I saw a âPROUD of our veterans!â sign on my neighbors lawn the other day and I knew it had nothing to do with veterans, theyâre just bigot pieces of shit.
Which is just funny to everyone. Because of course it's a gay anthem, the YMCA is where you went when your middle class parents kicked you out. That isn't around anymore so there's nowhere for us to go.
Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group of a given nation, it's a promise of violence if enacted and police are just an occupying army. It's a quote from Brennan Lee Mulligan.
Hired at 22. . I stayed until 99, then moved to Denver & began culinary school. I've spent 25+ years as a chef. Celebrities, sports heroes, billionaires, Broncos, Nuggets, Avalanche, Rush Limbaugh(yuck) Warren Buffett, Angela Basset, 100s of others. Bronco Stadium, Aquariums, golf clubs/resorts.now a cancer charity where I cook for families & patients. Like a local unaffiliated version of a Ronald McDonald house. The best job I've had. Home now on medical leave as an epileptic suffering seizures
I was pulled out of class by our commandant of the academy. A lesbian herself. Just before a 6 mile run in the mountains outside of Colorado Springs. Classmates had found out I was gay and were planning on getting me off trail and "teaching me a lesson". She warned me to be careful and quiet because it was already hitting the street that I was gay and she was worried about my safety going forward.
Eventually I was backed up/assisted on calls by each and every one of our SWAT team members. "You can cancel that back up unit, we'll cover 2A41." Then I was told by each team member that they knew I was gay. Respected me & if I EVER had an issue, all I ever had to do was call them for help and they'd be there for me. I was in no means the only gay male AND I eventually worked as a DARE cop in s unit with 4 lesbians and I knew several other gay men. But I was the only openly gay man on the dept
I kept rainbow pride stickers on my posse box and metal ticket book. It was wild. OJ Simpson had just happened and I became the expert on LGBT relationships and how to handle domestic disputes because so much of the world was changing around reporting domestic abuse. We need a cop to handle a gay domestic disturbance: 2A41 to the rescue.

Bricks are unwieldy and awkward. Never underestimate the power of a simple can of soup, for your family. đ

We should make the gay cops t shirts that day "I sold out my community for a paycheck, and all I got was this lousy PTSD" in rainbow colors

Fun fact: The record for most bricks shoved up a cop's ass is six, but the record is tainted because they were self inserted

I only know one alleged claim during the stonewall riot: gay guy 1) "Mary run, it's the cops!" gay guy 2) "Please, no names!"

Or the mob. Stonewall was a mob owned gay bar for years. They paid off the cops. The raids started because some asshole wanted to do "reform"

More village people cops, less east village cops.

Sadly, Victor Willis (the village people cop) insists that YMCA is not a gay anthem & allows their songs to be played for MAGA events

I guess he pretended to be a cop so long he became one (in spirit)

And, crucially, if the cops weren't being bastards.

I was the youngest, recruit and the first openly gay male officer in my local hometown. 92-99

Good for you. How old were you when that started?
