Tranny bar nyc

New York City is a place where anything is possible. The Inn and the national monument right out front are pivotal locations in the movement for equality—the places where Marsha P. Johnson threw the first shoe and where Sylvia Rivera and Miss Major joined in pushing back—literally—against oppression and bigotry, changing the world conversation about being transgender or LGBT. And on top of the history, the people are friendly, the drinks are good and not expensive.

While segregated bars have lost their popularity, the new millennium of New York clubs still offers places for trans men and women to mix and mingle, along with classic nightspots that keep traditions alive. To appreciate the Stonewall, one must know a little about its history. In the late s, the Stonewall Inn was a seedy, mafia-run dive bar that catered to gays, lesbians and transgender clientele. One night in , the police raided the bar and began arresting its patrons, a common practice in those days, intended to dissuade LGBT people from gathering socially. But that night the patrons resisted, which led to the historic Stonewall uprising.

Idling at the end of a friend's drag cabaret in the village, I looked up from my plate of overcooked shrimp to see the club had undergone a sex change. Curtains were drawn in the windows, tables cleared. Trans women sipping sugared whisky suddenly surrounded the semi circle bar, nondescript male counterparts at their sides.
