Stonewall was a riot they said. They said that stonewall was where gays and lesbians picked up bricks and made it a pissing contest of “who threw the first brick” at Stonewall.

They said a man in a dress did it, said that the transexual was the deliverer of pride and that we owe it to him.

No.

We don’t owe shit to men in dresses in any decade. We don’t owe them anything then or now. They don’t deserve to make everything about them.

There were no bricks thrown at stonewall. There was no TIM that was there when the activity started. Stonewall was not a riot.

Stonewall was a revolution.

The revolution started at the Stonewall inn, where normal looking gay men often occupied. It wasn’t a ritzy place, it was a hole in the wall that was run by the mob and sold expensive beer. There were no drag queens, no trans, no nothing like that.

And then there was her. There was a strict dress code still back in the 60s, that if you were a woman, you couldn’t go out being butch. You couldn’t have short hair and wear pants and button down shirts. Police raided gay bars because they had nothing else to do and they were enforcing the law at the time that homosexuality was a criminal offense.

That’s right homosexuality was a criminal offense. Not heterosexuality, not gender specials, homosexuality.

So the police came into the stonewall inn and they arrested a butch lesbian, and she fought back hard. And her name was Storme Delaverie. She was taken away in one of the police cars and caused enough commotion that she yelled “why don’t you do something?” And then the rest of the gays were targeted and they had had enough. They picked up glasses, stones, anything they could find, they threw them at the police. They all resisted arrest. The outcry lasted several nights.

And why? Because a black butch lesbian fought back first and created the domino effect that is Pride today. Pride was about being loud, marching for homosexual rights and against homophobia.

It’s so aggravating to me that each year, people lose more and more of our history because they want to be “inclusive”.

So for the honor of Storme and her legacy, get loud. Get your friends. Get your family. Go out in the street and protest. Pride did not start as a city organized function. It was not funded by the city. It was not planned to obey or submit.

It was planned to be unapologetic, loud, and mean.

And yes it is dangerous for lesbians to come out as gender critical, radical feminist, as these men will target you. Most women don’t have the means to safely do it. But with each year, we will continue to lose our history, our homosexual rights, to trans wearing the T engulfing flag, making every single woman’s sport put up rainbow badges on their social media, which now are not striped rainbows, but are muddled rainbows with the T colors bleeding into everything else, and they are going to continue to take and take until the conservatives take away every single gay right we have to get rid of the T.
