  • There absolutely are, never forget the first pride parade was a riot.

    "When did you ever see a fag fight back? ā€¦ Now, times were a-changinā€™. Tuesday night was the last night for bullshit ā€¦ Predominantly, the theme [w]as, ā€œthis shit has got to stop!ā€

    ā€œā€¦the crowd shouted ā€œPigs!ā€ and ā€œFaggot cops!ā€ Beer cans were thrown and the police lashed out, dispersing some of the crowd who found a construction site nearby with stacks of bricksā€¦Garbage cans, garbage, bottles, rocks, and bricks were hurled at the building, breaking the windows. Witnesses attest that ā€œflame queensā€, hustlers, and gay ā€œstreet kidsā€ā€”the most outcast people in the gay communityā€”were responsible for the first volley of projectiles, as well as the uprooting of a parking meter used as a battering ramā€
