I’m so glad that channels like RUclips exists. I have learned more from watching RUclips than I ever did in school. I was in the army in 1984 and I was roommates with a couple of gay women. One of them was discharged for being a lesbian. The other girl got out shortly after. It was very sad. My respect to all of my LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 friends. ❤️
It takes a lot of courage to fight for gay rights during the 50s. Bravo to the people behind the early gay liberation movement! Gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights. ✊
Well-said, Milhouse. If only the government and society had realized that societal attitudes towards the gay community were what caused blackmail to be possible. I came out in 1972 and I realized that--at the time many people still advocated for our exclusion from government service on the grounds that we could be blackmailed.
I see so many comments under many videos that show a non-understanding of Pride, It's because we have prevailed after centuries of having to hide due to centuries of persecution. And pride in what has been accomplished in achieving our rights.
There should never be such a thing as a second class citizen. All people should have equal rights under the law, under god, and with society in general. Only then can we have true equality.
@@Ghost_with_Bow lavender (and purple in general) is a color that has been commonly associated with queer identity, specifically homosexuality :) there’s no one definitive reason that I know of but it’s fascinating
The point of a military uniform is that it makes everyone uniform . If you can't do that and you require extra rules extra supervision extra medical . You should not be allowed in the military. I don't care if your straight queer or trans .

How does this not have more views?? This is so important for people to know about
I'm an asexual, non bianary, intersex person. Love is love. And love is beautiful in all forms.
Intersex so you have a vagina and penis?
Your a what ?
@@raymondappleby9839 they aren't interested in having sex, they don't identify as either gender and they were born intersexed. Not that hard dude.
...ok...how did J Edgar Hoover manage to keep his job, everybody knew he was gay
Anyone knows where to watch the entire film? Really want to watch it..

That music. Why?
Why did they use the word lavender, red i see the connection, but not lavender?
Lavender is considered the "gay" color.

This is heartbreaking and scary for those times!
The lavender corner... That's hat horn and sir. strohm's corner!
Wow I have never heard of this
Look how far the Community has come even since this video was posted.
Sad how far we have gone astray
Oh, so you can't deal with LGBT community living and loving without fear and without having to hide? It should have happened ages ago.
The Republicult will do everything they can to make this happen again! VOTE BLUE!!!
🙂🙂✨
We need to bring the lavender scare back.

Just admit you don't want trans people in the military.
You’re really that triggered by queer people wearing the uniform? Fun fact we all bleed the same as you do sweetheart
Gay people do not require extra "rules supervision and medical"
the beginning of the end
