Have you read Charles Kaiser's book "The Gay Metropolis"? It's a terrific read and he describes many of these events. I think that was where I first heard about the possible link between the riots and Garland's death. As I recall, Kaiser quoted many of the pioneers like Marsha Johnson, Stormé DeLarverie and Sylvia Rivera. (Granted, it's been 20 years or so since I read it, so I may be conflating his book with other sources, but that's how I remember it.)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-29974371530462225982022-06-28T12:38:42.942-04:002022-06-28T12:38:42.942-04:00Thousands of New Yorkers would disagree with the r...Thousands of New Yorkers would disagree with the reason of your omission, but it's your blog.
