Today’s episode is a bit of a trip back to some years ago. In 2019, whilst covering the 50th anniversary of the events that happened in the bar Stonewall Inn in NYC, which unfolded and promulgated the fight and deep germination of the queer community, I met Mark Horn. One of the members of the group Gay Liberation Front (GLF), Mark is among the creators of the first-ever Pride Parade, back in 1970. Very fortunate of me to find back in my old cellphone, the very audio of our interview, which I’m more than happy to share with all of you. In our talk, we addressed Mark’s youth discovering his sexuality back in the day, a thorough description of the queer scene of the not-so-fabulous and rebellious NYC, dancing as a political act, his relation with Marsha P.Johnson and Sylvia Rivera two huge figures of the queer community to this day, and his reflections on our fight for the protection of our rights.
As a member of the queer community, Mark’s words have been in my heart since the day we met 2 years ago. I hope you enjoy today’s episode as much as I’ve since finding this endearing audio file.
