this photo, through they're primarily young men. but unlike the characterization in the "times," in this image from the "new york daily news" we see young men of color who have been basically completely written out of the "times" account. in the background you can see a couple of african-american men. in between the two policemen here we see a face of what appears to be a latino young man. and in the image that would appear in the more extensive coverage that "the village voice" offered in its july 3rd issue, we see the presence of transgender or cross-dressing individuals and young street hustlers and a variety of other people who had been written out of the accounts. what's not visible in these accounts is the kind of legendary lesbian who supposedly threw the first punch at stonewall, according to the myths that circulated about these events, and that became especially prominent in the 1980s as the stonewall myth began to be remobilized as a way of uniting lesbian/gay politics and the political movement again. so that what occurr

gay men oppress gay women. white gays oppress black guys and straight-looking gays oppress transvestites. she signalled this need for gay liberation to combat our own shoef nichl, our own racism as well as our oppression by straight society. they feel the men in the movement are oppressing them and are not paying attention to women's needs within the movement. activists of color begin to separate out from the movement as do activist that is we consider to be transgender today who feel they are not being properly represented. the gay liberation front itself basically dissipates and falls away in the early 1970s and is replaced not just by lesbian feminist movements and other sort of splinter groups, but is replaced by organizations like new york, the gay activist alliance, which is an exclusively male organization, which no longer sees itself being involved in sort of transforming the social order but, rather, is focused primarily on discrimination against gay men for their sexuality, and it's not seeing themsel

speeches and monuments claimed that this is a group of honorable men, not broken men. these are real challenges in terms of understanding the entire encompassing experience of all that is. even some historians have been a comfortable recognizing the place of damage and dissolution veterans. i as was my panelists are not here to tell you that everything of confederate veteran returns home damaged in some ways. lives but very from at the same time we cannot discount or discredit the existence of these men in society. howr plight would dictate the south would come to terms with the price of failure and the burden of defeat. files across the former confederacy reveal an entire generation of men physically and economically suffering and even if you dig one level deeper and go to the governor's papers of many southern states, you will find numerous letters to him if he take it and physically suffering men begging for help. give me something because i have served the state. homeoldiers who came bearing this phenomenon of the missing limb will create a permanent class of disab

rules for men who have sex with men-- discriminatory. kelsey louie is the organization's c.f.o.: >> by banning a group of people from partaking in an activity based on who they are and how they identify, that is discrimination. how would you feel if you were told that you would still have to wait a year before you could donate blood? a year where you had to be celibate before you could donate blood? it's still unfair. it's not based in science. >> reporter: louie believes all potential donors should have their risks factors evaluated individually, such as whether a man-- or a woman-- has multiple sexual partners, has unprotected sex of any kind, and lacks awareness of his or her h.i.v. status. >> if you think about it, what this policy is saying is that a gay man who is in a monogamous relationship is at higher risk than a heterosexual person who is having unprotected sex with several partners. and that just isn't accurate. that's not true. so we're looking for a fair and science-based approach. >> reporter: brian custer, who advocated f
