Today in NYC history..




It was twentyfive years ago today that the Gay Army landed in Manhattan through full frontal and rear assults. A NYPD officer, Pat McCain, recounts, "they were all over the freakin' place, clogging up the streets and subways, ass cheaks all up and down 5th Ave, and the glitter! What a fuckin mess!" However the Army's advancement was stopped cold in its tracks as it came upon the newly opened "Disco Pants & Haircuts" Superstore. With the notice of "50% off all whigs" thick in the air, Gay Army commanders knew all was lost. Sunburn, low glitter supplies, broken heels and 3ft long pink whigs at such incredibly low prices proved too much for the invaders. They brokeup and scattered below 23rd street, freshly teased whigs and hot new fashions in tow.
