What the Queer Uprisings of 1969 Share with the George Floyd Protests of 2020
-Stonewall Means Riot Right Now-

“Stonewall was a riot.” In the 51 years since the uprising at the Stonewall Inn in New York City catapulted the movement for LGBTQ+ liberation into public consciousness, this phrase has become a cliché. Yes, it was a riot—but what kind of riot was it? On the anniversary of the iconic queer rebellion, many of us are reflecting on how today’s struggles against police and white supremacy connect to past uprisings. Let’s look at the resonances between Stonewall and the Justice for George Floyd rebellions and what these show us about how to catalyze resistance to oppression."

Pride is a Riot!

"Der Christopher Street Day in Köln ist mit mehr als einer Million Besucher:innen einer der größten Pride-Umzüge Europas.
Was in den 70ern mit der Stonewall-Riot als militanter Protest (vor allem von trans* Menschen of Color) gegen queerfeindliche Übergriffe und die Polizei angefangen hat, sehen alle erdenklichen Konzerne und bürgerlichen Parteien heute als eine große Werbeveranstaltung.

Die Kommerzialisierung des CSD bietet Parteien und Konzernen eine Plattform um sich mit einfachem Rainbowwashing als Ally zu profilieren und mit dieser Assoziation Geld zu verdienen ohne sich tatsächlich für queere Menschen und deren Rechte einzusetzen. Deren Präsenz auf dem CSD ist und bleibt ein Image-Stunt und hat nichts mit Solidarität zu tun.
Wer transfeindliche Hetze druckt, wer queeren Menschen kein Asyl gewährt, wer (mit dem "Transsexuellengesetz") das Recht auf Selbstbestimmung von trans* Menschen mit Füßen tritt oder wer Menschen bis zum Tod ausbeutet, hat auf einer Demo für Menschenrechte und queere Befreiung nichts zu suchen!"

Pride delivered to Erik Storch and Franz Richard Schrandt
"On 22nd of July there was a far right attack on our community (https://kontrapolis.info/10917/). A bunch of young fascists from the Party "The Third Way" hung around CSD Berlin, harassing and threatening our siblings until we made them run.
Erik Storch was in command that day. In the last few years, he rose up to the position of the leader of the "national revolutionary youth" in Berlin and Brandenburg.
With him was Franz Richard Schrandt who took the same path from Division MOL to the Third Way youth. The lust for confrontation with political enemys they deem vulnerable or unarmed is a reoccurring pattern.
Both are avid supports of the football club BFC Dynamo that shows a concerning development as a recruiting ground for the Third Way.
They feel way safer than any fascist should ever do. We will take the safety from them, step by step.
On monday night we made sure to add to that and brought a little pride to them. Since then Erik Storch (Thulestr. 80) and Franz Richard Schrandt (Filehner Str. 86) are greeted by a giant prideflag whenever they leave the house.
We wont stop haunting you until every single one of you got what he deserves!
Queers bash back!"
