Black and Hispanic gays experiencing intolerance by those who fought for gay rights decades ago

“The young gays and lesbians stream from subway stops dressed in their flashiest gear: rainbow sunglasses, 6-inch-high gold wedge sandals, a fatigue-printed hoodie, a rhinestone-studded pink Playboy bunny bag.

Hundreds of them make their way through the West Village – home of the gay liberation movement of the 1960s and ’70s – toward the pier overlooking the Hudson River, where a drag queen in a platinum-blond wig and gold bamboo-style earrings swishes past a group of boys in baggy jeans. One shouts, “Hey, baby” and she stops. With her backside facing the boys, she bends over in her pleated jean miniskirt and flashes them.”
