OBAMA DEGREES SHERIDAN PARK AS THE NATIONAL STONEWALL MONUMENT THIS IS OUR AUTHENTIC HISTORY

THERE ARE FABULOUS REASONS TO CELEBRATE THE STONEWALL MONUMENT THAT OBAMA HAS JUST ANNOUNCED TO BE PLACED IN WHAT IS NOW CALLED SHERIDAN PARK , But beware of politicians and organizations like HRC trying to co-op the news. 

Please any post other than HRC ... use mine or any progressive groups .Please take any HRC posts down .. HRC is part of the problem. 

Please  do not highlight a place like the STONEWALL INN which is symbol of oppression ,it was mob run bar that in 1969 offered may have offered us safe space but at a great price in dignity . . 

OBAMA chose to locate the Monument in a PARK for very good reasons. The Gay Liberation movement started in THE STREETS, on Christopher Street NOT a bar.

That said I am so full of emotion I can hardly think ..tears of sadness for all those who fought who are not here , tears of joy for all the brave people in this picture by Peter Hujar ,,, the COME OUT GLF recruitment poster in 1969 and those who came before us . I am proud to have organized the shoot and to be in it . 

and thank you HARRY HAY  founder of Mattachine in the '50 's and th Radical Faeries in th '70's / Thank your to each of the Mattachine people who showed uo in their best straight acting drag in 1965 and marched around the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia (What Courage!), Thank you Lesbian Menance for becoming visible in the womans movement
