  • Summary

  • No other symbol was so prominently associated with Ishtar than the lion. In ancient prayers and poems, she was referred to as the "great light, lioness of heaven." The lion was her chosen platform for waging war and inflicting vengeance. It should come as no surprise that just two doors down from the Stonewall Inn was another bar called "Lion's Head," the same sign that, in ancient times, represented the power of the goddess as she entered into war. After the Stonewall uprising, one of the leading organizations of gay advocacy established its headquarters directly above the Lion’s Head Bar. It would now wage the goddess’s war just as the goddess had waged her wars in ancient times, stationed on top of the symbol of her power—the lion’s head.
