SUMMARY:BE SEEN: Celebrating the 1966 Sip-In
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we come together for an “hour of power” and a toast to our elders on Tuesday\, April 21\, 2026 — as we celebrate the battle for our rights to BE SEEN\, be served\, and assemble as an LGBTQ community.\n\nFluid and the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project are joining an Instagram Live national celebration connecting hundreds of queer spaces across America. Photographs and video clips will be collected for the Project.\n\nAll guests are encouraged to use hashtag #SipIn60 in social posts.\n\nDid you know? Until 1982\, it was perfectly legal for any bar to refuse service to known or suspected homosexuals in Wisconsin.\nBartenders who served gay men or lesbians could lose their licenses; bars who allowed them to congregate were often declared “disorderly houses” and closed down. Gay bars were forced to operate under the radar\, paying the police for protections\, and customers were treated as second-class citizens.\nToday\, this may seem unthinkable. To our elders\, it was just everyday life.\n\nOn April 21\, 1966\, the Mattachine Society organized a protest to challenge discrimination and assert our First Amendment rights to assemble. After announcing they were gay and requesting service\, they were immediately refused — and the moment was photographed and received widespread media attention.\n\nThe Sip-In had a domino effect that led to the Stonewall Uprising of 1969. This national event offers a chance for the community to come together and celebrate LGBTQ history\, at a time when we are being censored\, excluded\, and erased.\n\nThe Sip-In Celebration is sponsored by the LGBTQ Heritage Alliance\, of which the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project was a founding member in 2024.\n\n Come celebrate LGBTQ history and activism as we connect to the NYC anchor event at Julius’ bar via Zoom and Instagram Live.\n\n Photos of Mattachine Society members and Sip-In participants Dick Leitsch\, John Timmons\, Craig Rodwell\, and Randy Wicker. Gift of The Estate of Fred W. McDarrah. #SipIn60
