Before Stonewall, there was the Black Cat; LGBTQ leaders to mark 50th anniversary of protests at Silver Lake tavern

“In a sign of how far things have come, members of the Los Angeles Police Department will join in Saturday’s commemoration and celebration, which will include speeches, live performances and a re-enactment of the protests, O’Farrell said.”

Oh fuck off. Things have apparently come so far the white lgbt community willingly forgets the police repression they so recently experienced in exchange for a myth of acceptance into the dominant culture.Things have apparently come so far that the white lgbt community willingly ignores the blatant racism in police departments and the murders of poc by police officers. Things have come so far our queer poc siblings are left behind.

BLUE FASCISM MUST STILL GO!
