Photo: Stonewall Inn, 1969, by the ultimate chronicler of New York’s downtown scene in that period, Fred W McDarrah, (c) the Estate of Fred W McDarrah.
This photo’s iIncluded in McDarrah’s photographic essay book PRIDE: photographs after Stonewall, recently back in print from OR books, with forwards by Hilton Als and Allen Ginsberg. From Allen’s forward:
“Think of the historic importance of coming out of the closet! Stonewall’s cry echoed round the world! Spiritual liberation meant gay liberation also, the liberation of individual veracity against hypocrisies of church and state and age-old social sadism. A revelation of actuality in midst of mental hallucination an emotional repression. Truth against “lies age-old, age-thick”
What was the fix to begin with? Legendary gay bars owned by organized crime paid off the New York police, and if they didn’t they were closed down. Something went wrong with the payoffs at Stonewall Inn. So the customary repression of gay social life was motiv’d by hypercritical greed and sadism. As the sign says GAY PROHIBITION CORRUPTS COPS AND FEEDS MAFIA”

The topic of “white girls” is used as a starting point for New Yorker Magazine’s Hilton Als, who delves into numerous topics with WHITE GIRLS, revealing unconventional cultural and personal insights. Though dense prose and sometimes esoteric literary/cultural allusions are plentiful in WHITE GIRLS, the surprisingly candid and conversational tone provides a counterbalance. Identity is frequently discussed, and identifying as a gay black man has given ALS a refreshingly unique perspective on the topics discussed. Profound, complex, punchy, and different, WHITE GIRLS is a rewarding and unforgettable reading experience 😌💕 #unabooksprideallyear #hiltonals (at Unabridged Bookstore)

Sitting on the subway the lights go by but the people don’t. Standing above me and around me I see how we are all the same, that none of us are white women or black men; rather, we’re a series of mouths, and that every mouth needs filling: with something wet or dry, like love, or unfamiliar and savory, like love.

It was just about the work for her, and I respect that. That is something to aspire to. Do your work.
