Photo: Stonewall Inn, 1969, by the ultimate chronicler of New York’s downtown scene in that period,  Fred W McDarrah,   (c) the Estate of Fred W McDarrah.

This photo’s iIncluded in McDarrah’s photographic essay book  PRIDE: photographs after Stonewall, recently back in print from OR books, with forwards by Hilton Als and Allen Ginsberg. From Allen’s forward:

“Think of the historic importance of coming out of the closet!  Stonewall’s cry echoed round the world! Spiritual liberation meant gay liberation also, the liberation of individual veracity against hypocrisies of church and state and age-old social sadism. A revelation of actuality in midst of mental hallucination an emotional repression. Truth against “lies age-old, age-thick”

What was the fix to begin with? Legendary gay bars owned by organized crime paid off the New York police, and if they didn’t they were closed down. Something went wrong with the payoffs at Stonewall Inn. So the customary repression of gay social life was motiv’d by hypercritical greed and sadism. As the sign says GAY PROHIBITION CORRUPTS COPS AND FEEDS MAFIA”

#Repost @gvshp_nyc (@get_repost) ・・・ On this day in 1969, master photographer Fred W. McDarrah takes this iconic image of the Stonewall Riots -- one of the very few surviving pieces of photographic evidence of three nights of disturbances which changed the course of history but which the mainstream press largely chose to ignore. Fred McDarrah was an unrivalled chronicler of downtown life and history for a half century, and we are incredibly grateful to his family for allowing us to use and share these and other amazing images he took. Go to archive.gvshp.org for more incredible Fred W. McDarrah images, and purchase a print to support GVSHP's work. See www.gvshp.org/lgbt for more information about the Stonewall Riots and LGBT history in our neighborhoods and our efforts to recognize and protect it. #stonewall #stonewallriots #civilrights #lgbthistory #lgbtlandmarks #fredwmcdarrah #christopherstreet #1969 #greenwichvillage #westvillage #historicpreservation

Esta foto toma más relevancia para mí desde hace unos días. Por cómo está constituida la sociedad, el núcleo familiar de sangre es una parte importante del sujeto, por buscar en ella amor, apoyo, ayuda y validación. Es un principio falso, porque la familia la encontramos en amigos y amigas, pero a veces es un problema y duele cuando la familia de sangre te rechaza. Para el colectivo lgbtq+ ha sido historia y norma (desgraciadamente) buscar una familia fuera del núcleo familiar de sangre, casi siempre siendo todes del mismo grupo oprimido por la sociedad. El rechazo en cualquier grado por parte de padres, madres, hermanes, hijes... etc. es alarmante en las personas lgbtq+, y se debe a la normalización de la lgbtqfobia. Un país privilegiado en cierta medida en derechos lgbtq+ no quiere decir que haya erradicado y condene a nivel social la lgbtqfobia más intrínseca. Casos que he conocido personalmente de abandono del hogar por cuestiones religiosas, lanzar maldiciones explicando que las personas como él/ella están destinadas a no encontrar amor y pareja, que no pueda hablar abiertamente de su persona o presentar a su pareja porque en casa su sexualidad es un tema tabú por miedo al rechazo o porque "haría daño", que una vez que viva su vida abiertamente el trato familiar cambie a peor, que intenten cambiar su sexualidad en contra de su voluntad, o que descubras que la respuesta de tu padre ha sido que entonces no cree que vaya a tener nietos, o que vote a un partido de extrema derecha en contra de los derechos y las personas que son como sus hijes. Por no hablar de casos más extremos, que no he conocido personalmente pero desgraciadamente son noticia, donde cabe desde los maltratos que hemos mencionado hasta el homicidio. Las personas lgbtq+ aún vemos la aceptación familiar como un privilegio. Que alguien esté orgulloso de ti y te defienda al 100% es un regalo. Por eso, a partir de ya, hay que luchar 24/7. #pride #lgbt #lgbtq+ #lgbtrights #lgbtqrights #lgbtqjustice #lgbtqfight #lgbtqvisibility #lgbtqacceptance "I'M PROUD OF MY GAY SON", Dick Ashworth, Christopher Street Liberation Day, June 30, 1974.
