A Stonewall Survivor Spills All: 'It Was 70% People Of Color'
What percentage of the crowd was Hispanic or black?
At least 70%. The Spanish group was the Delightful Ladies. The black group was the Blackwell. There were no leather queens there. There were leather bars for leather people. The majority of people at Stonewall were either drag queens or gay men of color. You could never go to Julius [a nearby bar] unless you were extremely conservative and well dressed. We were never allowed there.
What did the cops do to you once you were busted?
In those days, if you were busted, the first thing they did was shave your head. They’d crop your hair right off. It was to humiliate you.
