#repost @dmaibrooklyn ・・・ Happy Stonewall 50!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 FIFTY YEARS AGO, in all of Manhattan, there was one bar, The Stonewall Inn—one of the few that would actually serve openly queer people—that allowed same sex couples to slow dance together. FIFTY YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, the patrons of the only bar in all of Manhattan that would allow them to slow dance together fought back when they were forced—yet again—to break it up. In between then and now, we suffered unmercifully through the incalculable toll of a horrific plague, and worked our asses off, determined to survive and to thrive. We have fought for and won marriage equality, and we have made phenomenal progress on a path with still very far to go, committed to true equality for the entire LGBTQ community. Celebrate. Make noise. Protest. Dance. Party. Remember. Plan. Watch Each Other’s Backs. Sing. Shout. Chant. Laugh. Cry. Protest. March. Don’t March. Practice self-care. Be thankful to the drag queens and renegade fighters who did this for us all. Liberty matters whether you are gay, straight or in between.🙏#brooklynspa #theother5th #dmaiurbanspa #brooklynmassage #parkslope #stonewall50
