Martin Boyce:我于 1960 年代在中央公园的 Rambles 中出柜,那里对我来说是一个心理上的家,我终于找到了一个归属的群体。最终我去了村庄,因为我一直听到关于村庄的各种消息,而村庄的中心就是石墙酒吧,它给我的感觉与其他的酒吧不同。石墙酒吧与其他酒吧不同,因为它有一个舞池和一个很棒的自动点唱机,这让我们有了一个可以称之为自己的地盘,在那里我们可以自由地跳舞和表达情感。在石墙酒吧附近,我们感到安全,因为我们可以自由地走动,而不必担心受到攻击。在石墙事件发生的那天晚上,我和我的朋友 Bertie Rivera 一起去石墙酒吧,当警察开始袭击时,Bertie 变得非常激动。我之所以参与反抗,是因为我害怕 Bertie 的愤怒,而不是警察。在反抗中,每个人都在做自己该做的事情,一些变装皇后甚至在领导,因为她们没有什么可失去的。我记得一位名叫 Miss New Orleans 的变装皇后,她站在石墙酒吧的窗台上,眼神中充满了火焰,就像废奴主义者约翰·布朗的石版画一样。我们通过唱歌和跳舞来挑战警察的男子气概,最终警察不得不冲锋。石墙事件的胜利在于,警察和变装皇后都精疲力尽,互相没有打扰,而街道则被破坏了,但却闪耀着美丽的光芒。石墙事件标志着一个新时代的开始,一个少数群体认识到自己并要求人权的时代。
