Stonewall and Beyond: Queering the New York Dance Floor pt.2

from Love is the Message: Dance, Music and Counterculture · host Love is the Message podcast

Tim and Jeremy return from a mini winter break with a second episode looking at the music and politics of the Downtown queer dance floors of the early 70s. They interrogate the position of the Stonewall Riot in the history of queer culture, exploring many of the historiographical problems latent in the received accounts of this period and recontextualising the gay liberation movement of the time within a broader set of radical, anti-imperial demands. Tim and Jeremy also return to one of the most important clubs of the moment - the Sanctuary - and take a trip upstate to Fire Island Pines. Plus, Jem delivers a healthy dose of iconoclasm to a particularly beloved classic.     Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.       Tune in, Turn on, Get Down!     Become a patron for £3pcm by visiting Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod And check out our new website: https://www.loveisthemessagepod.co.uk/    Tracklist:   Abaco Dream - Life & Death in G & A Gladys Knight and the Pips - Got Myself a Good Man   Marvin Gaye - What's Going On   Diana Ross and the Supremes - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
