10 LGBT Uprisings Before Stonewall
June 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, when a raid on a New York City gay bar led to riotous protest by people fed up with being harassed, discriminated against and jailed simply for who they were or who they loved.
In the 1960s, New York Capital stepped up efforts to close gay bars and entrap homosexual men. And establishments catering to gay clientele, none of which were gay-owned, had powerful ties to organized crime. Owners would paid off police to avoid trouble, but the bars were still subject to frequent raids. (The New York State Liquor Authority prohibited serving alcohol serving homosexuals, under the guise of barring "indecent conduct.")
The Stonewall Inn had no liquor license—or even running water—but it was the only homophile bar in Modern York where dancing was allowed. It also drew a diverse clientele—whites, blacks, Latinos, gay men and lesbians, drag queens, transitioned people, sex workers and young homeless men who often slept in nearby Christopher Park.
Shortly before 1:30am on June 28, 1969, plainclothes and uniformed officers marched into the Stonewall Inn and announced "Police! We're taking t
Facebook says Toronto’s Pride March breaches community standards

The superb news is that Facebook has community standards.
The awful news for the LGBT community, and the organisers of the Toronto Lgbtq+ fest Parade in particular, is that they fail to meet them.
So Facebook has removed a photo of the 2011 Toronto Identity festival Parade from its web pages. It sends a strong message to the LGBT lobby that if it wants public help it should clean up its act. However, considering the LGBT lobby thinks that promoting sodomy is an acceptable pastime, it’s hard to see how this will ever happen.
Facebook’s decision is a slap in the face for all the perverted people out there defending the perverted ‘right’ of homosexuals to expose their genitalia to children.
For instance, I’ve previously mentioned Lauren Strapagiel, who wrote just this month that:
“Ultimately, there are worse things than seeing a penis flopping down Yonge Street, especially considering what Pride means for the kids the trustees are so concerned about.”
Lauren also eloquently stated that “in-your-face sexuality is the point of the damn thing”.
And she is righ
Rory Moroney was doing office work on a laptop at Recreation Park in Long Beach on Oct. 15, 2014, when he got up to employ the park’s restroom. He was followed by a dude who walked past him and smiled, which Moroney took as a signal of interest in him. The dude continued to beam and give non-verbal signals of interest. But when Moroney exposed himself a few moments later, the man rushed past him and out the door, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Moroney realized what had happened a few minutes later when he exited the restroom. The man identified himself as a Long Beach police officer and arrested Moroney for lewd conduct and indecent exposure.
The charges filed against him were later thrown out by Los Angeles County Superior Court Justice Halim Dhanidina, who ruled that the arrest was unconstitutional.
“You’re hunting for gay people,” Moroney said of sting operations like the one he was arrested in. “In my case, they were parked in their four cars, four separate cars, waiting for a gay guy to enter that restroom.”
In October, four years after his arrest, Moroney settled his civil case with the Long Beach Police Department outside of court for an

Jack Kerouac and Lucien Carr, Columbia University Campus, 1944
The Lucien Carr–David Kammerermurder/manslaughter that was once a strangely forgotten occluded episode has since had plenty of traction (most recently in the 2013 movie, Kill Your Darlings (see here, here – and, significantly, here).
James Polchin revisits it again, this time for The Paris Review in “The Queer Crime That Launched The Beats” (a selection from his recently-published Indecent Advances – A Hidden History of True Crime and Prejudice Before Stonewall)
A complicated tale – Polchin gives it a detailed and nuanced telling, noting differing reactions – (Allen’s and Jack Kerouac‘s in unique contrast) – “the nervous tensions between embracing and repulsing homosexual desires”
Similar contrasting response – celebration and repression – can be seen so many years later, (notwithstanding the huge advances made for homosexual equality), trickling through, in this little report, from the Paterson local paper (Paterson, New Jersey, home, famously to Allen and William Carlos W

In the mid-20th century, anti-sodomy laws became common in express and local jurisdictions in the Merged States. Flirting or asking out another person of the same sex or cruising in common spaces were seen as soliciting immoral acts. This extended to personal lives, meaning two gay adults could not pursue a love-related relationship in confidential. Police departments even created task forces specifically to goal and arrest same-sex attracted men who might be violating morality codes and laws.
For a foreign national with a U.S. residency visa or seeking to naturalize, being arrested for solicitation for an indecent or immoral act or loitering in a public space lay them at immediate risk for depo
