Summary
Philadelphia, July 1968: Two gay men get stuck together after a failed arrest attempt and have to make a journey to get unstuck.
Author's Notes
I don't want to put a full-on content warning on this one, but be warned, there is a lot of very period-appropriate homophobic language being used here.
This whole scenario was inspired (hysterically loosely) by a real story from the Stonewall Riots -- which were in June of 1969, to give a little context. I had actually completely forgotten about it until listening to the You're Wrong About episode about Stonewall. I know far less about 1969 New York than I do about 1968 Philadelphia, though, so here you go: a history lesson.
The Annual Reminder was a real thing! It was an important part of pre-Stonewall gay activism in the US, respectability politics and all.
