Who was at Stonewall?
Stonewall was a refuge for the most marginalized members of the LGBTQ+ community -- drag queens, hustlers, and homeless youth. Many of the youth had been kicked out or had run away from home and camped out in the park across the street. Despite the hardships they faced, they participated in activism and organized to better their community. Vanguard Magazine was a zine distributed by LGBTQ+ youth in the Tenderloin District in San Francisco. This 1967 issue features an article about the increased police harassment occurring in gay spaces locally and across the nation. |
