I am referencing a generalized LGBT community here, including trans communities,which are often led <strong>and</strong> organized by white transgendered persons.26. The Stonewall Inn was historically a white, working-class bar. As Thomas Lanigan-Schmidtrecounts, “[We were] the sons <strong>and</strong> daughters of postal workers,welfare mothers, cab drivers, mechanics <strong>and</strong> nurse aids…. We all ended up togetherat the Stonewall.” Quoted in Molly McGarry <strong>and</strong> Fred Wasserman’s BecomingVisible: An Illustrated History of Lesbian <strong>and</strong> Gay Life in Twentieth-CenturyAmerica (New York: New York Public Library <strong>and</strong> Penguin Studio, 1998): p.4–5. The authors also support the claim that queers of color were often turnedaway from Stonewall. Jeremiah Newton states, “The Stonewall was not withoutvery serious problems. If you were black, Puerto-Rican or even Chinese, it wasnext to impossible to get in. To be a woman or a drag queen was as bad. Thatpeephole would open <strong>and</strong> close like the shutter of a lens <strong>and</strong> that was that”(5). More recent accounts involving the “celebration” of the Stonewall Inn <strong>and</strong>the Stonewall Riots erase the presence of working-class gays <strong>and</strong> lesbians, dragqueens, <strong>and</strong> queers of color, viewing it instead as that “a mainstream gay riot thatbrought the community together” (19).27.
