“Stonewall Streetfair/NYC”
sponsored by New York City non-profit
G.L.B.T. organization....
STONEWALL
Rebellion Veterans Association
Commemorating the SVA's 17th annual NYC Streetfair in 2020!
-------------
Update: Creepz at Manhattan, NYC, Diss-Community Bored 'Number 2' lost again!
Stonewall Streetfair Background: In 2003, the STONEWALL Veterans' Association ("S.V.A.") finally, at long last, applied for a New York City permit to have a streetfair! Meanwhile, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender ("GLBT") political clubs like GLID and SDC have been having these streetfairs, which, unlike the S.V.A., are strictly self-serving. They rake in thousands of dollars for each political group year after year after year -- and selfishly never donate a dollar to the S.V.A. or even pay a $19.69 membership! With the S.V.A. application completed and delivered, Community Board #2 ("C.B. #2") said "yes" -- and then the City said "no"! After former S.V.A. President Jeremiah Newton testified at a hearing before the latter, the "City Hearing Tribunal" said "no". S.V.A. Executive Director Willson L. Henderson said this this is never -- never! -- going to happen ever again! And, it didn't! In 2004, C.B. #2 ridiculously, stupidly, insultingly and shamefully said "no" to the local S.V.A. and, actually and foolishly, put it in writing. Shame on them! Willson said "yes". When you think "Greenwich Village", one of the themes that you should think is the "Stonewall" rebellion, the "Stonewall" club, the "Stonewall" this and the Stonewall" that. Willson said "YES". Right on to him! And, Willson also beat the war drums once he was informed that the imbecilic C.B. rendering was signed in blood by the likes of an ingrate looney Gay goil who is allegedly a Stonewall vet! Further, the Gay C.B. Chair Jim Somethingorother falsely stated that there's "...nothing he can do!" and "no!" Can you imagine? Willson relayed to him: "U are a liar!" and "YES!" The Streetfair Permit Office said "no". Willson said "YES". The Community Assistance Unit said "no". Willson said "YES". The related Office of the Mayor said "yes" to a "hearing". That was the first break-through. However, Willson surprisingly and challengingly said "NO"! A "hearing" for what, Willson queried? "They all are 100% wrong and the S.V.A. is 100% right!" S.V.A. is not a "new" applicant, as explained above. This is not, e.g., a "new" streetfair as wrongly stated. The S.V.A. is, in fact, head-quartered in Greenwich Village. Our loyal Stonewall Newzletta readers can all appreciate the aforementioned "readings" and can readily tally all of the above. The ultimate decision is in: Come to the S.V.A.'s "Street Fair", our friends! The S.V.A. specifically thanks N.Y.C. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who we had the honor of being in his company -- and vice versa -- three times during Gay Pride Month. Was he informed of this scenario? Is the Pope a Catholic? The S.V.A. also wishes to thank all of the other concerned public officials who were on standby if needed to assist the non-profit, civil rights and historical S.V.A. Obviously, that excludes the exclusionary and uphonious "Gay Taliban" -- who could care less!
2004 Due to the mindless delays caused by Community Board #2's stonewalling of the STONEWALL Veterans' Association's streetfair plans, the date must be victoriously rescheduled. The SVA's "Stonewall Streetfair" in 2004 will not be on the original planned date of July 31st due to the subsequent time restraint for vendor booking and group planning. An alternate date months later sometime in autumn's October was offered to the S.V.A. Williamson rightly reacted: "Fuhgedaboudit!" The revised date will now only be one week later on Saturday, August 7th. And the location has been confirmed to be -- where else -- in Greenwich Village! That's where the S.V.A. started on Christopher Street and that's where our base remains. Our history is in Greenwich Village, our office is in The Village, our phones, etc., etc. More S.V.A. officers live in Greenwich Village than in any other community. The "Stonewall Car" is registered and garaged in Greenwich Village. It's Greenwich Village especially that benefits financially, especially every June -- and throughout the year -- by millions of dollars, as a result of the influx of business and the worldwide tourists since the historic 1969 Stonewall Rebellion. Who would think that anyone would think of an S.V.A.-sponsored streetfair anywhere but in The Village? Butt someone(s) did! The C.B. #2 manager ludicrously told S.V.A.'s Jeremiah Newton and Bert Coffman in person (after they made a surprise visit to the C.B. office) that the STONEWALL Veterans' Association is really not based in Greenwich Village!? Right! Hunh? And Big Ben is really not located in London! S.V.A. President Williamson called Gay him and asked, then where is the S.V.A. based? Chinatown? Perhaps the Stonewall Vets from the Stonewall Club of Stonewall Rebellion fame on Stonewall Place at the Stonewall Historic Site should have our streetfair on Rikers Island? |

Early streetfair set-up scene on Saturday morning, August 7, 2004 on Greenwich Avenue in the heart of Greenwich Village, New York. Back in the Stonewall Era, this street was widely known as "Avenue of the Queens". Pictured (l-2-r) are: Williamson Henderson, S.V.A. President, and Robert Ashe, Clearview Festival Productions on-site manager. Peeking out in the middle is Steven Gradman, Vice-President of PRIDE Democrats and friend of the S.V.A. From this picture you cannot see the actual streetfair as that is actually on Greenwich Avenue for a five-block stretch. In the background at a school playground is the special auxillary "Flea Market". By the way, in the above photo, Willson is sticking out his tongue at who? Who else? AnDre! (If U heard what the latter said to the former, we're surprised that WLH didn't stick out more than his tongue! Ain't we got fun!) The S.V.A. had double tables and eight quality chairs set up. S.V.A. literature provided 411 on the organization spanning 35 years! Besides S.V.A. coordinator Willson Henderson, other Stonewall Vetz who arrived to help man the tables or just visit included: Jeremiah Newton, King Storme DeLarverie, Biggi Berti Coffman, Principal Bill Salzman, Hurricane Dave West, Leigh McManus, Henry Koutoulas and Ramon "Rona" Bellido as well as the SVA's Community Liaison Bill Murawski and Friend-of-SVA Mikel Phipps. Special guest to visit us was Clearview Festival Productions owner Todd Berman with his two dogs. The most visible political clubs were PRIDE Democrats of NYC and the Village Independent Democrats with their brochures, flyers and voter registration forms on display. William Stricklin, Jane Sullivan, Tony Hoffman and Lee Enken, among others, were present or stopped by from VID. AnDre Christie, the S.V.A. Assistant, dutifully and happily distributed over 1,000 lavender S.V.A meeting notices with the S.V.A. support and ad form on the flyer reverse. Besides helping the S.V.A. organization with this fund-raising mechanism to outreach to the local community, the city and the state -- which also gladly benfits the City of New York -- we all had a lot of great talks and fun. And, just wait til next year! Our "Stonewall Streetfair" will happen regardless of what witch tries what trick. It's just that simple -- and fair (pun intended)!

The "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" will be a post-Summer event this year mainly due to scheduling (we were holding out appropriateness and hope for June). Despite some haters at the local Community Board, it will happen -- that's the important reality. Once again, the disrespectful and shameful Community Board #2 foolishly signed a paper "denying their approval" of a STONEWALL Veterans' Association streetfair. The current head of that community board, Jim Smith, you can't get any plainer than that and, in this case, even though he's unfortunately Gay, any more boring as he is, must go! Watch what happens....Stonewall Veterans Streetfair: Saturday, October 8th, 2005
The S.V.A. "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" shall once again take place on Gay old Greenwich Avenue from Seventh Avenue passing Perry Street and Charles Street and crossing West 10th Street and Christopher Street going up to Avenue of the Americas. It's an exciting and historic five-block stretch. Any G.L.B.T. non-profit-organizations or political clubs (Gay or not) that want free table space to display your group's signage and information and distribute literature, please telephone S.V.A. Assistant AnDre Christie to make the arrangements at: (212) 6-27-1969.

STONEWALL Veterans' Association Streetfair:
Saturday, September 16, 2006
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Greenwich Avenue
Greenwich Village, New York
The "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" -- sponsored by the legendary STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Assoiation -- has its familiar, three-year,
consecutive location on Gay Greenwich Avenue in the heart of Gay
Greenich Village. The S.V.A. will have tables and chairs set-up
to welcome visitors and provide information. The SVA's director Willson L. Henderson
will be the field director on today's outinng. AnDre M. Christie
will be distributing the next S.V.A. meeting notice backed with the
S.V.A. membership and support form. WLH + AMC = Fun! PRIDE
Democrats of NYC will be joining us again with their table manned
by Steven L. Gradman and Michael Livote to distribute campaign
literature on behalf of Eliot L. Spitzer for N.Y.S. Governor
and Andrew M. Cuomo for N.Y.S. Attorney General in the general
election. Rob Ashe will be providing any and all location
accommodations and technical assistance. The president of
Clearview Productions, Todd Berman, will be personally joining the
S.V.A. display later in the day. After the streetfair, Todd has
gayly invited Williamson, AnDre and Rob to an outdoor Brokeback
Mountain dinner on Hudson Street at the
Cowboy Restaurant. Yee-haw!
2007
SVA's Stonewall Streetfair 2007
The "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" is confirmed by the S.V.A., endorsed (and signed) by the Community Board #2, approved (and signed) by the N.Y.C. Community Assistance Unit and has been scheduled (contract is signed) by Clearview Festival Productions. The S.V.A. has, however, made application for "a change of venue" yet within Greenwich Village for this year. The requested space on Washington Street has been abandoned by Heritage of Pride ("HOP"), another G.L.B.T. organization. Thus, it is not a "new" streetfair. It has been existing. It would be the same blocks. The SVA's request has been rightly and nicely approved by Community Board 2 -- under new and better management the last year or so. The S.V.A. is awaiting re-evaluated results of that reasonable request from New York City's Community Assistance Unit ("CAU"). The result is in: Because the City wants HOP to stay at that location and not move their streetfair to Gay Boulevard (Eighth Avenue) in Chelsea, the City is not giving said location to anyone else -- not even the S.V.A., the people who ignited the Gay Rights movement in that very Greenwich Village. Thus, the City loses money, the S.V.A. loses money, HOP loses money, the vendors lose money, the businesses lose money, many workers lose money, everyone loses money!!! Who is the imbecile who is responsible for this wrong decision?!

S.V.A. 10th Annual Greenwich Village Streetfair
Sunday, May 19th, 2013STONEWALL V.A. 11th Annual Streetfair
Saturday, May 10, 2014Location: Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich Village, NYC
Soon, the S.V.A. will be providing factual reports of this year's
discriminatory process
and inherent insults and disgrace to the G.L.B.T. community particularly
the disgracing
of all of the S.V.A. veterans who we've lost over the years,
mainly due to AIDS,
only to have their lives and works desecrated and marginalized by
the likes of ill-fit haters
and liars like Maury the Schnott and William the Mahr-ed,
shameful,
truth-deprived Gays!
They both lied again and falsely stated that "there is no 'evidence' of
the SVA's programs"!?
Really? The colleges and high schools that we speak at find our
programs and praise them!
Millions find plenty of educational information on
SVA's website every year!
It is internationally
known what the S.V.A. does daily, particularly with Gay history
education
and G.L.B.T. rights!
The S.V.A. has over two thousand dollars in cancelled checks paid yearly
to
the NYC Gay
Centre just from the last year or so yet 'Roberta Worthless' (of the Gay Center
and now C/B-2)
wilfully lies that she
has no idea where the money goes? Why don't the
slanderers ask the political
clubs that people really wonder where it goes?! Problem is not money but the
lack thereof for the
S.V.A.!
In hypocritical contrast, C/B-2 voted 40 to 1 in favor of the S.V.A. streetfair just a few years ago.
The S.V.A. did not change except get bigger, more important and do
more. Somebody is
spreading rumors, lies and hate and Maury Shnott is foolish enough
to
sign his name to it.
community bored #2 members attend the "SVA's 45th
"Conference" on Sat., June 21st!
Where? In Greenwich Village, of course, at the New York GLBT
Community Center!
Most recent annual S.V.A. Streetfair: Saturday, May 10, 2014
What a successful streetfair and unique and so helpful to the City
and the non-profit S.V.A.!
Oddly, though expectedly, no one from Community Bored #2 showed up
with any question.
Advisory!
If you are new in town or just an unhappy liar on Community Bored #2 or one ofwww.STONEWALLvets.org/Mission_Purposes_Goals.htm
Let's get the answers from the rubber-stamped groups that C/B-2 pushes
through year after year without any documentation or any questions!
2015 The SVA's annual streetfair has been confirmed by the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York -- not by the lunacies and lies of the local Manhattan Commmunity Bored of haters! It' sone thiong to lie but to be so stupoid aboiut it referreing to the S.V.A. as a "One Man Band" when the S.V.A. super transparently publicly lists about twenty-five board members and executive committee members and staff with phone numbers and or email addresses including on this website!

STONEWALL V.A. 13th Annual Streetfair
Saturday, March 25 -- S.V.A. MONTHLY MEETING at NEW YORK LGBT CENTER in MANHATTAN, NY
With the "Ides of
March" behind us ten days ago (no one died), the S.V.A. has just three
months before its annual S.V.A. conference and the Gay Pride parade.
Those are the chief topics and planning on deck. In
connection with the latter topic, the SVA's guests this month are
appropriately officials from Heritage of Pride
("HOP"). Several of the HOP committee chais are participating
including for the community, the rally and the march and parade! The
hard-working volunteers from HOP are responsible for
the mutiple and mega projects of the annual New York GLBT Parade
(and/or March), Pride Island, the Rally, the
Pridefest and the Dance-on-the-Pier, among many other Gay events. Willson L. Henderson
moderates the interesting get-together with assistance from other
Stonewall veterans. Berti Coffman updates on public officials who S.V.A. has met with in the past month. Plenty! Ruthybird
provides the correspondence from public officials such as Manhattan
Borough President Gale A. Brewer and GLBT groups such as the Human
Rights Campaign. Mendy Seltza
updates on the local, lying and libelous Manhattan Community Bored #2 and
their psychotic activities committee! This time it
is likely the liars will be sued in court under oath where
they
will have to shut their lying mouths! The S.V.A. shall not be
judged
by liars and losers of C/B-2! AnDre Christie
greets members and guests at the door. (He was also at the C/B-2
debacle the other eve and described them as 'crazy behavior rude
nasties'.). Light foods are be served thanks to generous S.V.A.!
