#when they finally gave him a second chance he'd learned lol and went with aretha

i was at a thing last night and there was a guest speaker who participated in the stonewall riots and he was explaining how mafia-run gay bars in the 60s had quotas for how many of x/y/z group could be there. 10 "A-gays" (white gay men with white collar jobs) at the main bar, 4 latin guys at the tables, 6 blue collar guys got the dance floor, and a handful of black queens got the juke box. "Like a gay noah's ark... ensuring we would live on and repopulate the earth"

he told this part with joy and humour: one night he was given the honour of being invited up to the juke box and he thought he was gonna impress everyone with his music taste but he picked peter, paul and mary's "leaving on a jet plane" while people were trying to vogue and got kicked out out for white nonsense lmao
