And fuck all the people who have worked peacefully for it in the ensuing over half a century?
We owe Stonewall a lot - birthplace of the modern LGBTQ rights movement - but this is the second time I’ve seen it equated with marriage equality, which… yeah you’re erasing a LOT of advocates lives and work, a lot of queer history.
Yeah the right to marry came from decades of fighting by a lot of activists and a sweet old man from Ohio who was willing to go to the supreme court about how his relationship was treated unfairly.
The riots were how we stopped bar raids.
Diversity of tactics is how we won and how we win
Thank you. This is the real shit. Let’s spend a lot less time policing other people on our side and a lot more time getting more people to do literally anything. Wear every silly hat, write every Congress-critter, throw every brick. Fire everything!
If you’re an American in February 2026 who isn’t throwing bricks, and you aren’t MAGA, you haven’t taken a side. Get off the fence.
peacefully
Which made graceful capitulation to the motive force much driving our rights more palatable as it allowed the powerful to save face. Nonviolemt action in the context of a larger movement is not useless.
But without a violent wing nonviolent action is worth less than nothing. Straight masochism.
I’ve grown to hate the word “erasing” because it gets misused by people overreacting far more often than it’s used reasonably.
It’s a single photo and you’re criticising it for not being a comprehensive detailed history of everyone who ever did anything. Can you just let one thing not be about you.

and pointlessly so, biden has given anyone permission for any gov’t official to refusal to certify or recognize a marriage by simply saying that it’s against their religion.
and it will be reversed without more bricks.

I love that you combine the assertion of pointlessness of basic human fucking rights with outright misinformation.
But if you had to rely solely on facts and morally sound arguments, you wouldn’t have anything.
please identify where the misinformation is
biden has given anyone permission for any gov’t official to refusal to certify or recognize a marriage by simply saying that it’s against their religion.
100% true; no misinformation there.
I’m sure you have a source, then, considering the pre-Biden standing legal precedent that a government official can’t refuse to certify or recognize a marriage on religious grounds, and the Respect of Marriage Act signed into law by Biden forbidding any state or territory of the US from refusing to recognize lawful marriages.
the source is the act itself; dig deeper into it:
“Diverse beliefs about the role of gender in marriage are held by reasonable and sincere people based on decent and honorable religious or philosophical premises. Therefore, Congress affirms that such people and their diverse beliefs are due proper respect.”
– The Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) Section 2
“shall not be required to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage. Any refusal under this subsection…shall not create any civil claim or cause of action.”
– The Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) Section 6(b)
i stand corrected.
And to quote the movie directly:
“Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses!”
Not some moistened bint distributing swords from a pond? No watery tart and farcical aquatic ceremony?
The fuckers have taken down the rainbow flag at The Stonewall. The Stonewall, historic site had to remove its pride flag. Fuck.
The illegitimate tRump court is not supreme - there is a process and they’ve skipped some important parts - impeachment, removal, and prosecution should help!
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords may not be a basis for a system of government, but trans women distributing bricks may be.
Here’s the story of Stonewall from the people who were there:
