The Stonewall Massacre: Stories

By Charles Ortleb

The lengthy short story is a work of alternative history that imagines what would have happened if the gay movement had been destroyed in its infancy. What if the Stonewall riots had resulted in a bloody suppression of gay people all over America? What would society be like now? Would there have been an AIDS epidemic?"The Stonewall Massacre" is told from the perspective of a waiter who witnesses the destruction of the gay community in 1969 in Greenwich Village. In this thought experiment, the Stonewall Riots fail and lead to a massive backlash against the gay community. He watches in horror as an antigay backlash takes place all over America.But that is just the beginning. This witty and visionary story jumps ahead to the outbreak of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic. Because there is no visible gay community and no visible gay AIDS epidemic, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is recognized as the real AIDS epidemic.Written by one of the most uncompromising American journalists and the author of "The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up," this story raises uncomfortable questions that have the potential to change the course of history.
