Martin Boyce:我于20世纪60年代在中央公园的Rambles区出柜,那里对我来说像是一个心理上的家。因为我父亲是出租车司机,他看不到我和那些“皇后”们在一起。后来,我听说了村庄,那里有石墙酒吧,它与其他的酒吧不同。1966年我第一次去石墙酒吧,在那里我遇到了石墙的“街头皇后”们,我很喜欢他们。石墙酒吧因为它的位置和舞池而与众不同,我们终于有了一块属于自己的地盘,可以自由地跳舞和表达情感。1969年6月28日,石墙酒吧被警察突袭,但这在当时很常见,所以我并没有太在意。在石墙事件中,我被迫反击,因为我的朋友Bertie要求我为所有需要冷静的时刻做出补偿。我记得一位名叫新奥尔良小姐的“街头皇后”,她在石墙的窗台上,眼中充满了火焰。我们通过唱歌和跳舞来挑战警察的男子气概。石墙事件的胜利在于,警察和“皇后”们都精疲力尽,互相没有打扰。对我来说,石墙事件是通往自由之路的隐喻,是人民诞生的开始,是一个少数群体认识到自己是少数群体并要求人权的开始。
