History Tour of When Pride Was Politicial

From:  Queerty

Ooh, British fags! Here’s London’s first Pride march, complete with a protective policeman barrier. Delightfully, that ozone layer of bobbies gives the illusion that it’s a parade consisting solely of police officers.
Favorite detail: the sign that says “Homosexuals are Revolting.” Good one, Nigel.

R.I.P. 40TH ANNIVERSARY

From:  Queerty
On June 24, 1973, the deadliest LGBT massacre in American history happened in New Orleans.
At 7:56 PM, an unknown assailant set ablaze the stairwell leading to the Upstairs Lounge, a second-floor gay bar. 60 people were trapped inside. As the flames spread, some were able to escape through an unmarked exit. But others — panicked, confused, and unable to see through the smoke or escape through the barred windows — weren't so fortunate.
One man managed to squeeze through the 14-inch gap between the bars. He jumped to street, his body engulfed in flames, but died on impact.
Another man, George “Mitch” Mitchell, safely made it out of the burning building, but when he realized his boyfriend, Louis Broussard, was still inside, he went back to save him. Their bodies were later found huddled together in the wreckage.
Reverend Bill Larson burned to death grasping the barred window frame. His charred corpse remained visible to onlookers from the street for hours afterwards.(Photo Above)
These are only a handful of stories of the 32 men and women who perished that day in the fire.
The tragedy went largely unreported by the media at the time. No elected officials issued statements of sympathy or mourning. Nor was it thoroughly investigated by the New Orleans Police Department.
Major Henry Morris, chief detective of the NOPD at the time, dismissed the need for one, claiming it was too difficult to identify the victims. He argued that many of the deceased weren't carrying IDs or were likely carrying fake ones, a claim that was entirely speculative.
In an interview with the States-Item, Morris said:
“We don’t even know these papers belonged to the people we found them on. Some thieves hung out there, and you know this was a queer bar.”
As a result, four bodies were never identified, and the city refused to release the remains for burial. Instead they were placed in mass graves at Potter’s Field, New Orleans’ pauper cemetery.
No one was ever charged with the crime, and it remains unsolved to this day.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the fire. New Orleans Pride is hosting an official memorial June 24, which will include a street side ceremony at the location the tragedy occurred, and the premiere of Wayne Self’s new musical Upstairs.
Self is a playwright and composer from Louisiana. He now lives in Orange County, California. Queerty chatted with him about the musical, what inspired him to write it, and how he hopes to connect the audience to the tragedy.
What inspired to write a musical about the 1973 Upstairs Lounge arson attack?
It began as an initial fascination with a story that I had never heard, despite being gay, having grown up in Louisiana, and having spent a lot of time in New Orleans. But the more research I did, the more fascinating the victims and survivors became. It seemed that each had a story that deserved to be told, and that we could all benefit from hearing.
Why hasn’t the firebombing gotten as much attention as some of the other major events in LGBT history?
There are many reasons: politicians at every level avoided this tragedy. News coverage was dismissive or, in a well-meaning attempt to avoid salaciousness, mentioned only fleetingly that the bar was a gay bar. The gay community in New Orleans wasn't looking for a public fight, as gay communities in other cities were. And the lack of an arrest or a clear suspect led many to fear that this was a gay-on-gay crime perhaps best left forgotten.
Why/how do you think the story is relevant today?
The story is relevant because, as the Supreme Court weighs the legal merits of our relationships, we should remember the stories that remind us: our relationships have always been bigger than mere legalese. Even when we were at the margins of society, we were loving each other, literally, through fire and flame. The Supreme Court can rule on our legal recognition, but it’s not within their power to affirm or deny the goodness and strength of our relationships. We do that as a community, and we do it, in part, through the stories that we tell.
What do you hope audiences gain from seeing the musical?
I hope they learn something about the character, dignity, and capacity to love that has always been present in our community, from the very start, even when we were maligned as immoral or sick. I hope they see the consequences of our ongoing struggles with internalized homophobia. And I hope they have an opportunity to consider how we respond to the outbreaks of mass violence that still plague us as a nation today, and how our way of responding as a culture might not be the most beneficial to ourselves and our communities.
What are your plans for the musical after its premiere in New Orleans?
I’d love to see this play tour small venues indefinitely, if we can find a producer, so these stories continue to be told. So far, things have fallen into place, so I hope that continues.
