Hello Left Linkers

diary now! The doco is fascinating

Stonewall at Solidarity Salon - Thursday 27 June, 7 pm
Special premier screening of The Gay Pioneers
This 2001 documentary produced by WHYY in Philadelphia is an inspirational
look at the achievements of the women and men who were the pre-Stonewall
pioneers. They held an annual reminder picket from 1965 to 1969 on the 4th
of July outside Philadelphia's Independence Hall. Their demands? Nothing
less than full equality! Their tactics? A highly disciplined team effort.
One participant recollects: "the conservatives damned us to hell ... they
didn't want any part of our uppity tactics". Celebrate Stonewall by
honouring these pioneering achievements and examining what sort of uppity
tactics are needed today in order to achieve the goal of nothing less than
full equality!
The venue is Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick.
Dinner will be served at 6.30 pm for a $6.50 donation. There is no charge
for the program which starts at 7 pm.
