“This movement has become so capitalist. It is a capitalist movement . . . that only believes in the almighty dollar. . . . Now what kind of logic is this? I don’t understand. We do not owe the straight community a damn thing, so why should we be giving them our money? I feel highly offended. . . . This is no longer my pride. I gave them their pride, but they have not given me mine.” - Sylvia Rivera to Kristi Tho’mas, Brooklyn Black Pride, June 2001 (video made available thanks to @tourmaliiine; edits by @lgbt_history) #HavePrideInHistory #NoJusticeNoPride

“Remember today. There is strength in our numbers and diversity. Our visibility is a sign of revolt. Bisexual, lesbian, transgender, and gay people are in this together, and together we can and will move the agenda forward. But this will not happen until public recognition of our common issues is made, and a sincere effort to confront biphobia and transphobia is made by the established gay and lesbian leadership in this country. What is the difficulty in seeing how my struggle as a mixed race bisexual woman of color is intimately related to the bigger struggle for lesbian and gay rights, the rights of people of color, and the rights of all women? What is the problem? Remember that we are more powerful than all the hate, ignorance, and violence directed at us. Remember what a profound difference our visibility makes upon the world in which we live. Remember that assimilation is a lie. It is spiritual erasure. Our visibility is a sign of revolt. We cannot be stopped. We are everywhere. We are bisexual, lesbian, gay, and transgender people. Remember we have every right to be in the world exactly as we are. Celebrate that simply and fiercely. I love you. Mahalo and aloha.” - Lani Ka’ahumanu, April 25, 1993 Picture: “GAY PRIDE IS EVERY FUCKING DAY! 24 HOURS A DAY – 7 DAYS A WEEK – 365 DAYS A YEAR,” Alex in Wonderland (bar) ad, New York City, June 1984. #HavePrideInHistory

“You should all remember that it was because of police brutality against our community that Stonewall is celebrated today, tomorrow, and will be forever. . . . Dykes, fags, butch, fem, women, men, Blacks, whites, Hispanics, other people of color, drags, Transvestites—we were all at Stonewall, standing together to say to the police: ‘I have Pride! I have dignity! I have respect! I will not allow you to destroy or change me!’” - James Credle, Nov. 1983 . Abolish the police. .

“Every person who comes to a queer self-understanding knows in one way or another that her stigmatization is connected with gender, the family, notions of individual freedom, the state, public speech, consumption and desire, nature and culture, maturation, reproductive politics, racial and national fantasy, class identity, truth and trust, censorship, intimate life and social display, terror and violence, health care, and deep cultural norms about the bearing of the body. . “Being queer means fighting about these issues all of the time, locally and piecemeal but always with consequences.” - Michael Warner, “Fear of a Queer Planet,” 1993 . Pride is protest. And it’s never been more important. .
