Julius' - A Guide to Lesbian & Gay New York Historical Landmarks (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

159 West 10th Street. Opened in 1864, Julius' is reputed to be the oldest bar in the West Village. During the 1950s, Julius' began attracting gay customers. Serving gay patrons was in violation of the State Liquor Authority's rules, prompting many bar owners to post signs stating "If you are gay, please go away." In 1966, members of the Mattachine Society staged a "sip-in" here and were turned away. They had the city's Commission on Human Rights bring a discrimination case, and in 1967 the state court ruled that the Liquor Authority needed "substantial evidence" of indecent behavior (not same-sex kissing or touching) to close a bar, thereby reversing years of discrimination.
