Before the parade passes by...

I wrote Stonewall Revival to draw attention to some photos that I'd been saving. From when my first partner, Jimmy Pisano, re-opened the space as a gay bar in 1990 -the first time the space was a bar again since the original Stonewall Riots occurred two decades earlier.
In a few days, another Pride Parade will march past 53 Christopher Street and thousands will cheer the place that is widely credited with starting the LGBTQ civil rights movement.
My purpose in writing the book and in sharing the photos (www.StonewallRevival.com) is to draw attention to what Jimmy did.
He's the forgotten footnote in the history of that place.
I'd like to give him his footnote.
