Stonewall: 40 Years

hatchesSage

Forty years ago, on a hot June night at a small run-down bar in New York's Greenwich Village, a somewhat minor altercation between the NYPD and a rag tag group of homosexuals, started a sexual and sociological revolution and a demand for civil rights that changed the world.

Though Heritage Of Pride, which runs NYC's yearly Gay Pride celebrations, hasn't really gone out of its way to promote this fact (perhaps it isn't "sexy" enough,) the effects of that night, June 28th, 1969, are still reverberating today.

There is a great new wiki site here
outhistory.org

And I am sure there are many here on the M'Boards who have thoughts to share on the subject as well...
