The windiest militant trash
Important Persons shout
Is not so crude as our wish:
What mad Nijinsky wrote
About Diaghilev
Is true of the normal heart;
For the error bred in the bone
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have,
Not universal love
But to be loved alone.
All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
During the last weekend of June of 1969, police and
Alcoholic BeverageControl Board agents entered a gay bar, The Stonewall Inn, on
Christopher Street, in New York City.
Allegedly there to look forviolations of the alcohol
control laws, they made the usual homophobic
comments and then, after checking identification, threw
the patrons outof the bar, one by one.
Instead of quietly slipping away into the
night, as they had done for years, hustlers, drag queens,
students andother patrons held their ground
and fought back.
The agents and policewere trapped inside. The
crowd grew. Someone set a fire. More people
came. For three days, people protested.
They fought for many rights: marriage, legal
benefits and protections. Unfortunately this
movement would be stifled with a more immediate
concern.
