Phillip SevyGUEST
So you can see it sometimes since we're talking about kind of the, you know, the AIDS crisis or queer community, you know, there there are there are groups of people who are sometimes in the older area of that community and maybe are not as welcoming or as accepting of trans and non-binary people as that was perhaps not kind of the ground that they were pushing for at the time.
Phillip SevyGUEST
Obviously, you know, like at the beginning of Christopher Street riots and Stonewall was led by by, you know, trans and women of color.
Phillip SevyGUEST
And yet they were often excluded out of celebrations further at the time.
Phillip SevyGUEST
So kind of looking at that as it relates to this story, you can see the way that Absalom kind of took what was given to him and is now worried about his relevancy to the future generations, kind of seeing how his actions are being replayed as he is growing up.
Steven WeberGUEST
Brian Batt.
Steven WeberGUEST
I mean, amazing actors were in this thing, and we, uh, we did have one weird Star Trek moment when we were [laughs] shooting in, you know, on Christopher Street.
Steven WeberGUEST
I mean, we shot in New York City.
JohnUNKNOWN
Yeah, of course.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
This is episode four, Pride.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
Craig Rodwell returned to Christopher Street on Saturday evening just as the Stonewall Inn was opening its doors.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
It was June 28th, 1969, and Rodwell, an early activist on the New York scene, ran the Oscar Wilde bookshop down at the end of the block.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
Rodwell hadn't expected that the Stonewall would even be open, but there it was.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
Protesters again formed rockette-style kick lines, mocking the police as they marched in formation.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
But where Friday night's uprising had been spontaneous, on Saturday evening, the LGBTQ community, along with plenty of straight supporters and hangers-on, had come ready to protest.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
Around two thousand people would flood Christopher Street and the West Village into the very early hours of the morning.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
Rodwell later remembered, "That Saturday night was the first time in history there was a general assertion of anger by gay people, a public assertion of real anger that was just electric." Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a Black transgender woman who was knocked out by police and arrested on Friday night, remembered the subsequent nights as "absolute terror." It didn't just happen that one day, because people were fed up.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
And this would be a play in which Rudy Giuliani would be a lumberjack harvesting old growth forest in the name of the real estate developer who would eventually become his boss and our president twice.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
One of the reasons why I chose this very sort of empirical history of the gay liberation movements and their evolution through mostly San Francisco and then finally New York's Christopher Street based on the Stonewall Inns riots in the early 70s was because I was really interested in how social movements of our time have become like palimpsestic ruins of the dreams of another time.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
So for Freud, he said the image of the unconscious was a palimpsest, like Rome, which had built many civilizations one on top of another.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
And it was a physical ruin.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
And his or her psychology, the extirpation of his or her homophobia can becomes like the task of human resources tolerance training.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
But a lot of this begins on the street, on Berman Street, actually, Berman's abstract street.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
It actually begins on Christopher Street, which was a site of struggle between residents, the police, sexual deviants, I'm putting, you know, quote unquote, who... sought refuge there, either in the sex trade or in the many gay bars that were there.
Catherine LiuPANELIST
And the Stonewall Rebellion, she says, did not happen overnight.

Sophie Monaghan-CoombsCORRESPONDENT
One of your early series that is on show here is Christopher Street, which is from 1976.
Sophie Monaghan-CoombsCORRESPONDENT
And you're documenting a place and the people that you come by.
Sophie Monaghan-CoombsCORRESPONDENT
Could you just talk a little bit about what kind of people and the kind of images are in that series?
Sunil GuptaGUEST
Essentially, we're on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village in New York, and we're looking at essentially gay men out and about, promenading during the day.
Sunil GuptaGUEST
That was new.
Sunil GuptaGUEST
I'd never seen so many gay men out and about in the daytime.
Sunil GuptaGUEST
In a sense, my public work began with gay rights activism pictures, if you like, of marches and things like that.
Patrick WalshHOST
No, I just saw him something.
Patrick WalshHOST
What's that theater on Christopher Street? The Louise Lortel? Yeah.

Patrick WalshHOST
He was in a show there called Fear, which lasted about a week before everything got shut down.
Eliot GlazerGUEST
Like there's pictures where I literally look like Rosie, like Rosie in the bad years as a freshman moving into the dorm.
Eliot GlazerGUEST
But I would go up and down Christopher Street reading the book about how to cruise.
Eliot GlazerGUEST
And doing so, so unsuccessfully, I would stop, look back.
Eliot GlazerGUEST
They'd never look back.
