Introduction It is indeed a high honor as well as a great pleasure to speak to you today. I would like to thank the hard-working staff of the Museum of the City of New York, including Lavinia Mancuso and David Spiher, who made this happen, and Steve Turtell, who first suggested my name for this event and who has since moved onto the South Street Seaport Museum. I am particularly honored to be the first openly transgendered person to deliver the Ouderkirk lecture, and I am delighted that the Ouderkirk family and the Museum have chosen this occasion to change the name of the event permanently to the Mark E. Ouderkirk Memorial Lecture for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Programming. It is appropriate and fitting that the occasion of my speech should serve as the catalyst for the change in the name of the event to make it transgender-inclusive in name as it has become in fact, and this small but significant alteration is ironically enough an illustration [...] PUBLISHED: JUNE 27TH, 2002

Gay Rights in the 1960s and Today

In June of 1969, the Stonewall Riots, a six-day series of protests, demonstrations, and confrontations between the city’s gay community and the police, sparked a new phase in the civil rights movement. Almost all of the most critical events that redefined the movement for gay equality, including Stonewall and the birth of Gay Liberation, occurred during the Lindsay administration.

Join historian David Carter, author of Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution, as he moderates a discussion with key figures in the gay rights movements of the Lindsay era and today. Featuring Dick Leitsch, President of the New York Mattachine Society, and Rich Wandel of the Gay Activists Alliance.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition America’s Mayor: John V. Lindsay and the Reinvention of New York. This Mark E. Ouderkirk Memorial Program (16) exploring lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender culture and history is generously supported by The Ted Snowdon Foundation.

Gay New York and the Arts of the Twentieth Century

This day-long symposium (10:00 am–4:00 pm), presented in conjunction with Cecil Beaton: The New York Years,

explores both the influence of gay New Yorkers in the formation of the city’s artistic life from the 1920s through the 1960s and the dense social and cultural networks that fostered and supported them in fields as diverse as opera, theater, literature, music, and photography.

Speakers include Donald Albrecht, the exhibition’s curator; George Chauncey, award-winning author of Gay New York; Wendy Moffat, author of A Great Unrecorded History: A New Life of E.M. Forster (Picador, 2011) and Hugo Vickers, Beaton’s official biographer.

This symposium is made possible with the generous support of William T. Georgis and Richard D. Marshall. Additional support is provided by the Museum’s Mark E. Ouderkirk Memorial Program (18) exploring lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender culture and history.
