The book Stone Butch Blues really opened my eyes to these injustices
It's "LGBTQ" now? I can't keep up with it anymore
I am amazed by all the positive and inclusive comments on this thread! I know bigots are still out there. Bit what joy that most people here recognize the need for liberty and equality for all.
Pride month!
Don't forget the one who started them, she was a Transwoman, and she threw her High Heeled shoe at the cops.
"Gender appropriate clothing" isn't the alternative actually "false advertising" or "bait and switch", where is Ralph Nader?
Huh…just realized I'm watching this on June 28
Maybe riots do accomplish things…
Can you please add captions to this video? I want to use it for a training I am doing and I like to ensure everyone can understand what they are saying, Thanks!
All cops deserve the guillotine.
good for them…
A very important moment in history. I wish we could learn about LGBTQ+ history in school, so people really understand how homophobia has impacted our community, and how it still does.
And 10 years later on Barney Miller Wojo arrested a transvestite
If not for theses people the life that LGBTQ take for granted would not be and we still have ways to go before we are completely excepted in the Untied States of America
If only we would go back to these days
June 28th is my bday I'm so proud to be born on that day!!!
don't forget about the black trans woman who threw the first glass during these riots
Thank you Marsha, our one true queen ❤️?️?✊?
Prior to doing research on my birthday, I had no idea that my birthday coincided with the Stonewall Riots though I was born a couple decades after it happened.
Thank you for allowing me and so many others to discover ourselves in relative safety, Stonewall rioters!
???
Riots are key!!!
Marsha P. Johnson? You didn't even mention her at all. That's like talking about the Civil Rights Movement and not bothering to mention Martin Luther King Jr. Come on History Channel what's up with that?
This is a great summary of the riots! Well done! One little bit that I read somewhere a lonnnng time ago was that prior to the riots the police would raid the bar by appointment, so that the patrons who did not want to be arrested and have their names and photos put in the paper would be able to avoid the bar that night. I wish I could remember where I read that, but it was definitely before the internet, so it must be true! ;-D
This didn’t at all include one of the most important people In stone wall. Marsh P. Johnson. The black trans women who led the riots
Love is love.
I always search for stonewall008 and this fkin video comes up :/
Thanks for this video, I've never learned about the Stonewall Riots before.
We were just HOMOSEXUALS then HISTORY CHANNEL! We weren't "gender non-conforming". Going to report the history, report it correctly.
Sources?
The stone walk inn was always raided because of the illegal activity going on. It was ran by the mafia. Also racially segregated, blacks on one side and whites on the other
FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOT
Don’t forget stonewall club was owned by the mob and was racial segregated
The story has NOT ENDED, BOTH PARTIES ARE TO BLAM FOR THE DEATH AND NEGLIGENCE OF MY COMMUNITY DURING STONEWALL! THE BIRTH OF ACTUP! ?? ????
