Earlier this week, we celebrated Pride at thestonewallinn with cocktails and a conversation about gay liberation and ’90s nightlife featuring MichaelKors and our editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg, hosted by drag superstars the_symonee and thegigigoode 🏳️🌈
OTTENBERG: Happy Pride, 2023. We still got to celebrate. Nothing is promised these days.OTTENBERG: We have to remind people that New York is the mecca for gay life. When I was a kid and I met so much homophobia in my area, but I read books about the Factory or Studio 54, ormagazine and I was like, “I’ll just go party with these people. I’m fine.” The kids need to know.
OTTENBERG: Amen. Thank you for keeping Christopher Street and Stonewall from becoming a Chase or a QQ Nails, because it literally could have happened. It only became a landmark in ’16, right?OTTENBERG: Now it’s 2023 and we’re living on the edge of hell. Freedom ain’t a promise, Michael Kors. Liberation itself is on the edge. It’s fucking ridiculous. Any thoughts?
OTTENBERG: I saw Girlina dancing at The Tunnel in 1996, and I was like, “I need to know these people.” I was just telling her that. What is the drag moment that changed your life, Michael Kors? OTTENBERG: I was buying like 14 potatoes and 12 onions. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to cook. [Laughs]
