Description
Bert Wylen interviews Jeremiah Newton about gay life in New York City prior to the Stonewall Rebellion. Newton discusses his experiences as a teenage patron of the Stonewall Inn, his presence on the bar’s opening night, and his participation in the riots, describing the crowd dynamics, police presence, and escalating violence over the three nights of protest. Newton addresses the lore surrounding the rebellion, including the roles of Sylvia Rivera and other trans women of color, the exclusionary practices of the Stonewall itself, and the Mattachine Society’s response. Newton reflects on his later involvement in the Gay Liberation Front (GLF); Bert Wylen interviews Bob Kohler about his early activism and involvement in the Stonewall Rebellion. Kohler discusses his work with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), his relationships with the street youth of Sheridan Square, and his memories of the riots, including the escalating violence across multiple nights. Kohler reflects on his organizing within the GLF, particularly his role in founding the Aquarius Cell, which hosted fundraising dances to support the group’s work. Kohler discusses tensions between older homophile organizations and the post-Stonewall generation, the formation of the Gay Activists Alliance (GAA), and the movement’s later turn toward assimilationist goals.
