Making Stonewall Inn a national monument is a national disgrace upon the nation

When the city of New York made the Stonewall Inn a historic site, I wasn’t happy with it, but I let it go. However, when the U.S. government has decided to make it a national monument, this is a bride too far. Making a monument to immorality is a very serious wrong and the country, not just New York, will suffer the consequences for it one day.

Gambino Soldier Eddie DeCurtis Ran Gay Bars

Although reputed Genovese capo Matty Ianniello, recently released from prison, was the undisputed gay bar kingpin in New York City for decades, the Gambino crime family also had a piece of the racket principally through soldier Eddie DeCurtis from at least the mid-1960s through the early 1980s. Recently released FBI files include allegations from informants that DeCurtis allegedly had secret interests in many gay bars, restaurants and after-hours clubs.

 

Since at least 1965 informants advised the FBI that DeCurtis was a "hidden owner of various bars and clubs which cater to homosexuals." Indeed, one informant told the FBI in September 1967 that DeCurtis and his brother Guido were behind the opening of the Stonewall Inn which two years later was to become famous for the riots by its patrons following a police raid at the premises pursuant to an investigation into the mob theft of Wall Street bonds. A September 28, 1967 FBI reports that according to the informant:

Although Matty Ianniello by some reports allegedly controlled the Stonewall Inn, it was not uncommon for the Gambino and Genovese families to share interests in gay bars particularly in Greenwich Village. For example, the Gambino soldier DeCurtis allegedly shared an interest in the Candy Store at 44 West 56th Street with Genovese soldier Joseph Cataldo. Indeed, the FBI reported on April 13, 1967 that DeCurtis regularly visited the offices of M&M Trading Company which was one of the many alleged fronts through which Ianniello managed his gay bar interests, and the document states DeCurtis "makes regular appearances at the M&M Trading Company, which is located in Room 1820 at 135 West 50th Street, New York City."
