When the three days were over, McIlvania proposed that all the ministers should band together to help solve the issues of homelessness and sex work that were rampant in the tenderloin's LGBTQ population.
voice-verified
To his surprise, the other ministers agreed.
voice-verified
They formed an outreach group called the Council on Religion and the Homosexual.
voice-verified
For the first time, heterosexual ministers were not denouncing LGBTQ people, but starting to defend their humanity.
voice-verified
In time, this defense would lead to the formation of Vanguard, an organization by and for trans youth in the Tenderloin district.
voice-verified
But across the country, in New York City, a different kind of movement was taking shape.
voice-verified
A neighborhood called Greenwich Village would be the center of it.
voice-verified
For the first time, the LGBTQ community was coming together there in large numbers, pooling their resources and imagination.
voice-verified
But they would find that politics in Manhattan were quite different from the West Coast.
voice-verified
Entrenched notions about LGBTQ people would be much more difficult to shake.
voice-verified
And those notions were never more entrenched than in one of the most powerful organizations of all, the New York City Police Department.
voice-verified
By the nineteen sixties, Greenwich Village could boast a long and varied history of sheltering a radical population.
voice-verified
The New York neighborhood was home to artists, musicians, and political progressives.
voice-verified
It appeared in the works of writers who also lived there, including James Baldwin, Alan Gimsburg, and Audrey Lorde.
voice-verified
Lorde, a black poet born and raised in the city, fashioned a community for herself and other lesbians and gay people in the village.
voice-verified
She wrote, We all cared for and about each other, sometimes with more or less understanding, regardless of who was entangled with whom at any given time, however imperfectly, we tried to build a community of sorts where we could, at the very least, survive in a world we correctly perceived to be hostile to us.
voice-verified
To many people in small towns across America, visions of New York and Greenwich Villages' culturally relaxed attitudes proved intoxicating.
voice-verified
One by one, those who were excluded from their communities made the pilgrimage to the big city.
voice-verified
But as welcoming as New York seemed, it also echoed the same discrimination that was prevalent across the rest of the United States.
voice-verified
In the years following World War II, the city had rapidly modernized its stakeout, decoy, and police raid operations, arresting thousands of LGBTQ people, sometimes just for socializing at a private party.
