This is the oldest gay bar in NYC. Not enough people talk about it. pride
“There’s the misperception that the modern gay rights movement started at Stonewall,” Ken tells me. Stonewall was a key turning point, [but] Julius' was one of the bars that existed before Stonewall and the Sip-In itself was the first, actual documented and photographed way of showing discrimination in a bar by the State Liquor Authority.”
“Dick told me that in the sixties, the two biggest things were police entrapment and police harassment in gay bars,” Jay says. “Why [challenging] the second was so important, was because there was no other place in the world [gay people] could go.” It was packed with mostly male patrons of all ages. At first I was struck by this diversity. I wondered what disparities must exist between how the older men thought of the bar relative to their 20-something counterparts. But that quickly felt irrelevant as I thought about how all of us being in the same room, and that room being so packed on a Monday night at that, was a testament to the sacrifices Dick Leitsch and so many others made over 50 years ago.
