Summary
  • Tracks 1-4. Arthur Bell hosts panel discussion with young gay activists who live in New York and try to find their own place in the city at the end of the 1970's. They talk about Greenwich Village as the place that became a home to the largest gay and lesbian population in New York City, the place where they feel safe and secure.
  • Track 5. Excerpt from the discussion with gay rights pioneer Bob Kohler. He talks about the rise of the gay movement after the Stonewall riots, a series of spontaneous and violent demonstrations by members of the gay community that took place on June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City that led to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for gay and lesbian rights in the United States.
  • Tracks 6-9. Eddie "Skull" Murphy, a long-time doorman and bouncer at Mafia-owned gay bars since the 1950's, who was at the door the night of the infamous 1969 raid on the Stonewall Inn, referred to Jennie and William Tobin in an interview with Arthur Bell for an article ("Skull Murphy: Double Agent") which appeared in the May 8, 1978 issue of the Village Voice.
