American History Tellers · FAN FAVORITE: Stonewall | Why Don't You Do Something? | 3 · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

At the front entrance, the stonewall doorman would assess any approaching customer through a peephole.

If you fit in, if you looked like you weren't a cop or a straight person, you would be admitted.

Then you'd have to sign the guestbook, although fake names were commonplace.

Once inside, you could purchase tickets that could then be exchanged for drinks at the bar.

The lights were kept very dim, and the air would be thick with a mixture of cigarette smoke and perfume.

Drinks were both watered down and overpriced, but the bar was often packed because of the two dance floors, each one with a lighting system in its own jukebox.

Radio hits by bands like the Beach Boys and The Doors played in the front room, while the side room was reserved for soul and R&B singles from artists like Otis Renning and Carla Thomas.

One young gay Stonewall patron recalled that the first time he visited the bar, the most incredible sight was men dancing with other men.

When I saw couples dancing together, I had such a thrill in my stomach.

It was like an electric shock.

Another Stonewall patron, Danny Garvin, recalled breaking his own personal taboos in the Stonewall's back dance floor.

I was at the point that I would have sex with men, but I wouldn't kiss.

I was still in the early stages of coming out.

Then one night at the Stonewall, a man named Frank asked me to dance.

I felt embarrassed and nervous, and I realized that I liked this guy.

That was the first time I allowed myself to dance, to be part of gay life, to go ahead and kiss a man in public.

Raymond Castro, a 27-year-old Puerto Rican baker, remembered how safe he felt at Stonewall.

Stonewall was a place where you could be comfortable being yourself.

It was a place to meet your own kind and hang out with your own kind.

It was refreshing to know you were not alone.
