A Generation of Pride, the national theme of Lesbian and Gay Pride 1989, will characterize celebrations from coast to coast during the month of June. The annual celebrations commemorate a rebellion against a routine police raid at a gay bar in Greenwich Village on the weekend of June 27-29, 1969. The following is excepted from The Alyson Almanac's account of the rebellion: 4 'Early in the morning o f June 28, a routine police raid on the Stonewall Bar at 53 C hris- topher Street, in New York City, turned into a riot when the patrons put up unexpected resis tance. A group o f uniformed policemen arrived at the bar about 3 a m . They ordered customers to leave, then began arresting employees, as well as several drag queens. Although such arrests had often taken place without protest. S Day of mourning scheduled n June 30, 1986, the United States Supreme Court ruled that gays and les bians have no right to engage in same-sex rela tions in the privacy of a bedroom (or anywhere else) under the United States Constitution.

They began chanting “Pigs!" at the police, then threw bottles. The police barricaded themselves in side the bar, which itself came under attack from the crowd. According to one observer, the riot was escalating and the trapped police were about to begin firing on the crowd when reinforcements arrived, and the group dis persed. Further riots continued, fo r the next several evenings.” Events commemorating the rebellion began the following year in the coastal metropolises. Today the rebellion is celebrated in hundreds of cities worldwide. On June 17, in Portland, Grand Marshalls Howie Baggadonutz, JudyTaJIwing McCarthey, Tom Norton, and Cathy Siemens will lead the parade from the North Park Blocks along Broadway and end up at Tom McCall Water front Park. The parade begins at noon at NW Couch and Park. The Rally at Waterfront Park continues until 6 p.m. at the stage near the Battleship Oregon memorial. Everyone is invited — more than 5,000 people participated in the event last year in Portland. w in Bowers v. Hardwick: Justices Rehnquist. Powell, O ’Connor and Berger joined. Justices Blackmun, Marshall, Brennan and Stevens dissented. The Court concluded that the belief that homosexual sodomy is immoral and unaccept able provided an adequate rationale, and that the decision dealt exclusively with homosexual sodomy despite the fact that the Georgia statute in question applied equally to all persons regardless of their sexual preference or marital status. In his dissenting opinion. Justice Blackmun wrote, “ That certain, but by no means all, religious groups condemn the behavior at issue gives the state no license to impose their judg ments on the entire citizenry. The legitimacy of secular legislation depends instead on whether the State can advance some justifiction for its law beyond its conformity to religious doctrine.’’ Gays and lesbians across the United States will join together, on June 30, 1989, in the spirit o f Justice Blackmun’s dissent, to protest the Supreme Court’s decision in Bowers v. Hard wick and its adherence to religious persecution. In Portland, lesbians and gays will be present at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth District (Pioneer Courthouse) for a day of mourning for our right to love whom we choose. The presence will begin at 8 a m. and con tinue until 5 p.m. with a rally at noon in Pioneer Courthouse Square. A planning meeting for the demonstration will be held on June 6, at 6 p. m ., in City Hall Room 402. for information or to volunteer, call 224-1976. ▼ HONOLULU — 8 DAYS/7 NTS INCL: AIR, ACCOM, LEI GREETING, TRANSFERS A Gallery O f Folk Art &.
