Tofte: Google reminds me that 5 years ago today I was at the NYPL's exhibition, "Love & Resistance: Stonewall at 50" — this Mattachine Society poster was my favorite piece, for obvious reasons

Wait, were we there the *same day*? My picture was taken at 1:34pm on April 12, 2019! XD

Oh haha apparently Google showed me this a week early for some reason! I was there the next weekend.

Ahhh, right! I thought it was something like that. XD

I also went to that exhibit! It was a nice exhibit! My friends didn't want to also do the Walt Whitman exhibit so I didn't get to do both :(

Pairs well with some of what’s resonating in the new X-Men season. We are different, but no matter how different we are we deserve to live here, too.

I buy all my machines from Mattachine. But seriously the federal government officially wouldn't employ gay people when this advert was printed, not until 1975. And homosexuality was still a mental illness in DSM until 1973.
