THE ORIGIN OF LGBT PRIDE MONTH
The yearly celebration of LGBT Pride Month started from a terrible situation that happened in a bar named Stonewall Inn, which is located in Greenwich Village, NYC. It was June 27, 1969, and the regular crowd was gathered at the Inn, when suddenly NYC police officers and the New York Beverage Control Board agents raided the bar for the second time in a week. Raids on gay establishments were commonplace, and gay people were physically forced out of these places, and many times they were beaten and arrested for no reason. As usual, the officers raided the Stonewall Inn, spewing homophobic remarks and demanding to see the patrons' IDs.

Gay people had had enough, and on this hot night both lesbians and gay men, some in full drag, fought back against the police raids for the first time. When the patrons at the Stonewall Inn erupted into an enraged confrontation, word spread quickly throughout Greenwich Village bringing more people into the streets. Many were arrested during the rebellion. This fueled the fire on the long-simmering anger of the gay and lesbian community, which suddenly surfaced in a rolling boil. For three days, outraged crowds rioted in the streets in the name of gay liberation. Many people funneled their anger into political action with organized groups to protest the mistreatment constantly inflicted on the gay community. These protests were called the Stonewall Rebellion. Because of the bravery of a few, people began realizing the horrible treatment LGBT people had suffered, and gays and lesbians began a political movement to secure our basic civil rights, which is still going on to this day.

To celebrate these heroic acts, an annual parade is held each year in New York City and Los Angeles on the last Sunday in June. The first parade was held in June of 1970, and has since marked the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. In March of 2000, The Stonewall Inn was declared a National Historic Landmark, and is known as the true birthplace of the lesbian/gay civil rights movement in the United States.

NEW NEWS AND SERVICES
Our Lesbian Networking Groups are doing great with over 550 members! Our Lesbian/BI Woman Online Support Group now has 675 members, over 300 more than last year at this time! We are providing a service for women worldwide, and two of our members recently wrote these notes of appreciation:

"I only became a member of the group on Saturday, and am touched by the warmth and compassion that emanates from these postings. I feel blessed to have found this refuge; a safe place to listen, talk if I need to, and maybe learn how to finally make peace with who I am."

"A million thanks to the owner and moderator of this group! You're very instrumental in helping not just me, but countless lesbians and others through uncertain times. The Coming Out Guide is a wonderful resource that I can't even imagine how much time you invested in putting together. SFLCO is a great support system for those of us who are either struggling to figure out where we really stand, or know where we stand and are struggling to deal with outside issues related to it. And usually, all you have to do is announce that we have a new member, but you had to put ... How much time into muddling through the technical bull to help me become a member. Technology stinks sometimes, but I really appreciate everything that you did to get me into this group. Those are just a few of the things that you've done to help not just those of us on the list, but lesbians all over the US and beyond. So from me for one, God bless you for everything!"

NEW LESBIAN HOROSCOPES BY FLASH SILVERMOON
June blows in with a really mixed bag of energies to delight, incite, and ignite. With Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all in a Fiery Grand Trine, and Pluto adding its thermo-nuke heat to the mix, is it any wonder that vast parts of the country, including my own hood, are ablaze? Some parts of the country are suffering from record drought while other places are in flood. Some still have the nerve to say that there is no Global Warming, but I call it Global Warning!!
