  • There absolutely are, never forget the first pride parade was a riot.

    "When did you ever see a fag fight back? … Now, times were a-changin’. Tuesday night was the last night for bullshit … Predominantly, the theme [w]as, “this shit has got to stop!”

    “…the crowd shouted “Pigs!” and “Faggot cops!” Beer cans were thrown and the police lashed out, dispersing some of the crowd who found a construction site nearby with stacks of bricks…Garbage cans, garbage, bottles, rocks, and bricks were hurled at the building, breaking the windows. Witnesses attest that “flame queens”, hustlers, and gay “street kids”—the most outcast people in the gay community—were responsible for the first volley of projectiles, as well as the uprooting of a parking meter used as a battering ram”
