Revelandriot.com Website Review

Revel & Riot is an LGBTQ-run non-profit. We use the t-shirt as a canvas to promote LGBTQ equality, pride, visibility and justice. 100% of proceeds go to fighting for LGBTQ equality, pride, visibility and justice. We are 100% funded by the sale of our t-shirts. In the early hours of June 28, 1969, there was a raid on The Stonewall Inn in NYC. Fed up with police violence and incessant persecution, people inside the illegal ga* bar refused to show their IDs or identify their gender. Those who evaded arrest began gathering outside the bar. Soon a crowd had formed, people shouted “ga* power!” and sang “We Shall Overcome.” Pennies and beer bottles were thrown at the cop cars. Butch le*bian woman of color Stormé DeLarverie fought back, complained that her handcuffs were too tight and was beaten in the head with a billy club. Bleeding, she shouted to her fellow ga*s: “do something!” The explosion of protest that followed forever changed the LGBTQ community – the Stonewall Uprising was the start of the modern day ga* rights movement. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of the “Do Something” shirt will go to organizations fighting for the rights and well-being of It’s all fun and ga* ’til someone loses their rights” is about the precarious state of LGBTQ civil rights in the USA and other so-called democratic societies. Rights we fought for can be taken away by bigoted politicians, political games, and the ignorance of general public – and it is happening NOW. We cannot take equality for granted.
