Pdoggg Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Friday was the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and Sunday is the NYC Pride Parade. It's amazing how quickly things change. Stonewall was raided simply because it was a bar where gays congregated, a haven for sodomites. And this happened in one of the most liberal cities in the USA. In the following decade there was a proliferation of bars with glory holes (wouldn't be a bad name or theme for a Pattaya Ladyboy Bar) and backrooms. Fast forward to the next century and gays can get married and run for president of the USA. Here's some Stonewall pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieBunker Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Dont remember this at all as I was too young. The main thing I remember about 1969, The Jets, The Mets and the moon landing...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieBunker Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I remember going to quite a few Mets games that season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strocube Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 You know, much social progress has been made since Stonewall. I think, this is mostly for the better. Though, personally, I cannot understand why so many gays are so keen to get married and join the fucking military, ugh. This drive or need to be just like the breeder normies I find truly puzzling. Gimme the freaks, baby! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciobha Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I'm with strocube on this - why can't there be a society that lives outside the social norms but is fully accepted?? Everybody is in too much of a hurry to have there preferences recognised as "normal". We don't want normal, why not have something that is a little bit "wrong" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
