True that, i taught myself back then when i’m so confused about my sexuality i searched up the internet and ended up surfing into The Stonewall’s history
as a young member of this community, watching this is so important. with the lack of representation in media and (i’ll be honest) my own ignorance of my own community’s history, i only found out about stonewall about two days ago, and i’m ashamed of it. i’m so happy that i have the resources and opportunities to learn about this
love your pfp! as another young member, I'm upset that I only heard about stonewall after this documentary. I'm also extremely happy that I have this and it should be taught more
facts not dogma If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of mammals & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
The fact that *assumably* after watching this video y’all still make statements like this shows that the message went completely over your head. If your pride isn’t intersectional it’s useless.
As an ally, this is so important. Thank you for not glossing over the racism and transphobia that existed and continue to exist within the LGBTQIA community. We must address and tackle these things so, A's was said, we can take the whole house down. The same system oppresses all of us in different ways

Hearing those stories and seeing the pictures from pre-stonewall was so meaningful?? like, all I've ever heard about were the raids and violence and then to see this where lgbtq people were living almost out in the open. Learning about them walking up the street and living together made me tear up cause I wish we were taught the good parts of our history too. Our history is not all tragedy, there's so much love and life there
What do you think a community means? It is what was between the arrests, beatings, riots ... If you haven´t seen it maybe it's because you didn´t want to pay attention before. Anyway, they protected each other against the police and homophobic citizens. Don´t idealize it, some of them lived out in the open, yes, specifically in parks at the age of 12, so I would say that love arose from the tragedy.
@GlitchedOut Nice arguments LOL , I don´t think you´ve understood anything of what I´ve written, I am defending the LGBTQ + community. Thank you for participating, my little troll...

"We don't care if straight people accept us, we're just going tobe who we are, and if you don't like who we are, just get out of our way." Some of you needed to hear these words. ^^^
That’s been my philosophy for years. I don’t give a shit of some doesn’t like I’m gay. Get on with your life and I will with mine as respectful human beings
The problem is they don't get out of the way in many places. We have to deal with this or else we are accepting a future of continued hate and violence against gay people.
For everyone that suffered, for everyone oppressed, for everyone who fought and endured. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. We wouldn’t have any rights without this. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😢😣
LMAO ! The human race is only a speck in time. Forever? ...hilarious. People think they're so smart, think they know so much. Those are the most foolish. But at least it's humorous to hear them profess their assumed "knowledge".
The fight continues. We are not done yet. Wherever injustice exists and until we are all aforded equal protection and status then we cannot say 'the work is finished'. Peace and Love from the UK.
im sorry to say this, but its never going to be finished. The logic behind intersectionality is to actually pit people against other people to divide the masses and keep us distracted. There is an evil program to lower the age of consent to 16 yrs, or sometimes younger. People really need to take another looks at trans, and being trans. IMO there are very, very rare cases where surgery is needed. Gender dysphoria is real as well, but it is obviously leaves as time goes on and people change. Look at how many people that are in transition right now. There were not so many people scared to tell people, there are of course some, but the numbers don't back up the 5000 percent increase in trans surgeris
@@operatorbutt4265 what do you mean worse? And the way you put figting in brakets. Look at how much we have acomplished in just 30-40 years. And its getting better every day.
@@operatorbutt4265 Watch the video hun, do some research. People back then were murdered for being LGBT. Now we have almost the same rights as you. I mean I understand if you are from the middle east or a Muslim country things haven't really changed a lot, but to say that we haven't accomplished anything is hilarious. Just ten years ago marriage and adoption was banned for almost all countries, there was no protection to not get fired, bullying was a lot more frequent. There is still a long way to go but it's just amazing how things have changed in just 50 years
I am an openly gay African American 16 year old male who is out and proud. Every Lgbtq+ person ESPECIALLY those who are younger needs to see this video. It is so inspiring!
I'm heterosexual and I heard about Stonewall since I was around 13. I'm 28 years old. I think going to the same school as Sir Ian McKellen (Bolton School) was part of why I heard about Stonewall early on in my life.

All hail the queen who threw that heel and started this uprising. thank you for all who sacrificed for this equality. Walk to that parade and remember someone died for you to be you. Be proud :)
Truly a queen, I rarely ever thought about my own privilege that I have nowadays, because of people before me fighting for gay/trans rights. You rarely ever hear about it, so videos like this are very educational.
Love my trans sisters and brothers and all folks in the rainbow. As a gay dude who has a dash of comfort you better believe I still fighting and marching with you all. To anyone who ever questions this, or are just downright bigoted: why do you think this is so prolific of a movement? Because it's basic human dignity. And it ain't going away whether you like it or not. And I for one am thrilled to see a future where everyone can just BE.
1969 is when the stonewall revolution started. it breaks my heart to even imagine the struggles of the older generation of my people had gone through; forcefully fought back SO hard for our rights in order to build a world wide safe environment for us to be embracing our authentic self unapologetically, but they could not live it in their own time. we are truly fortunate due to their efforts and persistence that we're able to be LOUD and PROUD of who we are today. thank you, LOVE soldiers. your loving force has really been paid of, and we shall continue your legacy. LOVE IS LOVE!!
Beautiful video, thank you for making this and teaching our history. I remember when I finally got myself educated about the details of stonewall - it felt like an awakening
This is making me cry reading these comments an watching this video. I'm so disappointed that I have only learned about this today. Thank you for building our future.

I don't walk in the Pride Parade for fun, I walk in the Pride Parade for equality 💛💚💙💜❤️ It's just as much of a celebration as it is a demonstration🙋🏼 A celebration and demonstration for LOVE ✨❤️
My name is Bruce Munn ! I am a 62 year old gay man from Montclair, New Jersey ! I was just 13 years old when the Stonewall riots happened ! I knew that was gay and I was oh so scared ! I knew that I would be in the closet for many years ! I now live here in Clearwater, Florida ! I first came out in November of 1992 ! I just love the Australian openly gay pop star who sings about gay love ! Troye Sivan is my favorite singer now ! I also support Equality Florida and The Trevor Project ! I plan to go to St.Pete LGBTQ Pride on Saturday June 22, 2019 ! Being a gay man is the best thing that ever happened to me !!!

I didn't know much about Stonewall; I'd heard of it, I'd heard of the riots, I'd heard the names of the people behind those riots. But only within the last year. In a country where being gay only just became legal, but all other rights are blocked, I love learning about my hidden culture. Thank you for this amazing video.
Hollywood makes Stonewall look lovely and quaint. But in reality it wasn't any better than other bars. But it was a safer place and became a place of history
Sadly you're correct. Each time I learn of another murder of a trans' woman a piece of my hear turns to stone. In the UK we're a world away from what's happening to you all in the Americas but for what it's worth we ARE by your side. Love and Peace. x
Yeah whenever I hear about that stuff it breaks my heart. Just recently I think in dalllas Texas, where I live a black trans women was beat and then shot in the head a year after that first incident... it’s heartbreaking. Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💞🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
So true I'm saddened all these murders are black trans women and it's sad tears me up I'm so sorry boo I support trans community and everything YALL are beautiful worth it and everything I don't understand why people are so fucking hateful cause who we are stay strong boo
I'm 53 years old and I'm soooooo freaking proud of the youth of today's movement, proudly I hand off the torch and trust you will carry it on to the next generation! Thank you!

This was seriously so beautiful to watch. I appreciate the acknowledgment of Sylvia Rivera & Marsha p Johnson and the amount of time spent discussing the importance of intersectionality in pride. All around incredible video.
As an older lesbian, that has marched, and picketed, and petitioned... thank you young ones, we were counting on you to pick up the mantle and you have not disappointed us. I hope I live long enough to see your progress down the road!
To all of those who came before my time began, Thank you. From the depths of my heart, thank you. Thank you for standing up, for fighting back. Thank you
Sam, I agree with you, always have, always shall. What is the struggle about? To adopt a legal and judicial system that favors justice and legal truth based on the Constitution. And further, for those of us who are aware of our spiritual natures. I was sad when the great MLK told Bayard Ruston to detach himself from the cause of Civil Rights because his gayness would distract from the primary cause.
@@KING-bt1tm that's a pretty bold request. do you not see those around you? do you consider yourself a true king, and think that everyone should do as you say they should or shouldn't do? do you know the strength that comes from asking questions and seeking clarity openly more than shutting things out? when you close doors... doors will slowly close... not for one thing... but many things. one after another. we must move forward. acknowledge the differences and make meaningful moves to produce healthier and fulfilling lives. we did not ask for this life, and we can only make change in our individual lives by working together as a whole. everything effects everyone in some way. what makes one person more special or special at all? what makes a person who is disgusted by a persons sexuality or way of life the person who is living a moralistic life? and vice versa? we don't have to feel so much hate. internal, or external. anyway. if you're ever in america... greetings, and peace, and maybe some sunshine (or rain if you'd rather) -A queer, former homeless, drug using, community observer.
@@KING-bt1tm There are plenty of LGBT people in China, just like there are plenty of LGBT people everywhere else. We're not going away, and you're going to have to accept that.
I cried while watching this because I was angry, sad, but mostly because I was proud of all the work that generations put in before us! I am proud to be part of this movement and will do my best to make sure everyone feels welcomed,loved, and safe to be themselves.
Bro Pidgeon AND Chella in the same video 😭😭 I’m quaking ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 this was so transformative to watch how far we’ve come, and also a much needed reminder of the hard work we still have to accomplish moving forward as a community.
I really appreciated that they talked about Marsha and Sylvia and how the early lgbt+ movement excluded trans people, and how they talked about intersectionality in general. I do not understand how a community of people who know what it's like to be oppressed would oppress other people within that same group. :(
Because humans are the wretched species, and Americans MUST have someone to look down on, thus they marginalize others of the same cohort by pretending they are of a higher class. America and her foolishness.
The movement started out as getting equal rights for people with different sexual orientation than heterosexuality. Transsexuality has nothing to do with sexuality, but rather gender identity. They do not fit into the original category for which the movement was started. Logical. But since when have the trans camp been known for their logic?
The moment they started booing Sylvia Rivera my heart fell apart. Just hearing the audience shocked me. While not trans, I was so pained to see people who were fighting for the same rights for the LGBTQ+ community but couldn't reach a point of understanding with those also a part of it. But acknowledging and discussing the development of the LGBTQ+ community in regards to transphobia, racism, and its overall growth allows me to fully appreciate the community that is today and what it will be in the future. I'm proud to be a part of this lively and diverse community and thank you for presenting such a informative and moving documentary.
this made me sob. i will to send this to anyone who belittles the importance of pride. i haven't taken the time to thoroughly educate myself on stonewall until recently and i'm really looking forward to learning more. happy pride everybody
No matter how many times i hear these stories i chock up. No matter how many times i say it its not enough. Thank you! I live in the world i do because of the hard ship you went through.
My heart goes out to everyone what was part of a riot and thank you for fighting for who you are and being incredible. The world is really not accepting but u all really fought for LGBTQ rights and made such a big difference and thank you
I have made my commitment this June to learn more about our history and the things that lead our community to stand where we are now. This video was not only helpful, it was empowering. Thank you
Watching this to learn about my history as a member of the community. It is because of trans women, and women of color that I am able to have and show pride and show contact with my partner today. I’m unable to show pride in my home because of my family but one day I hope I can fly my flags with pride. This video is so important and I hope those educate themselves on this, whether they’re in the community or an ally. Stonewall is such an important piece of our history and should not be silenced or forgotten!!!
It's a destiny that my birthday is on 22nd June, and I'm a proud lesbian now. Just imagine that one day after my birthday in 50 years ago with the Stonewalls stories and we have amazing pride like now. It's such an honor and thankful for all the people have always fight for our community.

Just coming back from DC pride and to see all of us LGBTQ people stomp at the capital really speaks on how far those pioneers have brought us. Thank you. I’ll live this month in memory and appreciation of Marsha and Sylvia!!! Happy pride bothers and sisters 💋 🌈

I have recorded pride events across Europe since 1992, seeing millions of people and recording thousands. processing the videos in the winter I see thousands of faces from all walks of life, in the process I get a bigger picture as to what is going on socially. Its a privilege to be a part of it. Its a shame that everything came to a standstill in 2020, it just shows how fast hings can change and the vulnerability of our very being. In 2021 we must all work together to make the whole world a healthy happy experience , free to express our selves healthy. Stay safe in 2021 Happy new year to you all.
I had no idea about the stonewall riots before this, and i appreciate this so much. Gives good insight on how things were and why this is so important to remember and be aware of.

I am in tears seeing how far the LGBTQA+ community has come and knowing we still have more work ahead of us to make life for all people better and equal.
honestly you guys I think we need to talk about this situation more often! it's such a wonderful thing that happened and I'm so happy that people had the courage to speak up for all of those who were afraid! And I think we need to continue to do so for all of the people that cant nowadays! ❤
“We’re here! We’re queer! GET USED TO IT!”, was our Pride March chant back when I was involved in the late 80s. We still have a-ways to go...FORWARD!! Keep up the pressure but try to keep it peaceful and clean so we can continue to be perfect examples for the generations that come AFTER us. HAPPY PRIDE!!
I’m Bisexual & I’m here to learn more about the LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 community as a bisexual woman and black & I’m proud to be part of a family who loves,cares & takes care of our own people our family,our LGBTQ+ community.
I‘m glad they addressed racism in the Stonewall Protests. Unfortunately, too many white, (upper)middle-class Gays were not inclusive. No intersectionality.
Thank you for this, NYC’s LGBT Community Center! It brought back such bitter/sweet memories. I attended my first Gay Liberation Parade in Hollywood, CA in 1970. That was the first time I did anything gay publicly. I was 18 at the time and it was WONDERFUL! I've been out ever since and fully support all the work that is still being done for the LGBT community. Stay proud! Stay strong! - With much love from an old queen in La La Land.
freedom to be different If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of mammals & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who the truth & can defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
I'm straight and cis but I was so incredibly offended by the fact they booed the trans lady on stage. How dare they? In a time where they needed acceptance the most and they hate on those within their own group, disgusting.

I wish I learned this in school, I wish I understood instead of the bullshit I was given in school bout the club being a cult and all that shit. It's so important to know the history for pride and I can never express that enough
We need to respect every human being, we need understanding and solidarity, and increase emotional connections between individuals. We need more emotional intelligence and do Emphaty and motivation. God bless everybody.
I really can't understand why people have hate for other people weather it's gender, sexuality, race, religion, the shape of someone's body & whatever other reasons people find to hate & put people down... none of those things make a good or a bad person. I hate that anyone has to or has had to suffer due to being different. Our differences is what makes us beautiful.

Stonewall needs to be taught in school history classes.
I hope it does become part of the curriculum in the future, this is an important part of our history! Happy pride! 🏳️🌈💞💕
Yes it does
It’s taught in California! I was lucky enough to go to a high school that taught me about the importance of my birthday (June 28) as a gay man.
i literally didn’t know wtf this was until tik tok and i’m apart of the lgbt+ community and it makes me so sad that this isn’t taught in schools
True that, i taught myself back then when i’m so confused about my sexuality i searched up the internet and ended up surfing into The Stonewall’s history
as a young member of this community, watching this is so important. with the lack of representation in media and (i’ll be honest) my own ignorance of my own community’s history, i only found out about stonewall about two days ago, and i’m ashamed of it. i’m so happy that i have the resources and opportunities to learn about this
quinn watch she ra
I’ve heard about it but just now checking out and doing research
I’ve only just found out today. I feel so shamed.
love your pfp! as another young member, I'm upset that I only heard about stonewall after this documentary. I'm also extremely happy that I have this and it should be taught more

LADane Black trans people didn't exist in the past? When did they appear for the first time?
The fact that *assumably* after watching this video y’all still make statements like this shows that the message went completely over your head. If your pride isn’t intersectional it’s useless.
@Austin Mark like you, I'm sure; making this country great again, right?
@Austin Mark I'm just curious if your comment is as ignorant as a MAGA supporter or if maybe you're not a total waste of life.

As an ally, this is so important. Thank you for not glossing over the racism and transphobia that existed and continue to exist within the LGBTQIA community.

Hearing those stories and seeing the pictures from pre-stonewall was so meaningful?? like, all I've ever heard about were the raids and violence and then to see this where lgbtq people were living almost out in the open. Learning about them walking up the street and living together made me tear up cause I wish we were taught the good parts of our history too. Our history is not all tragedy, there's so much love and life there
What do you think a community means? It is what was between the arrests, beatings, riots ... If you haven´t seen it maybe it's because you didn´t want to pay attention before. Anyway, they protected each other against the police and homophobic citizens. Don´t idealize it, some of them lived out in the open, yes, specifically in parks at the age of 12, so I would say that love arose from the tragedy.

The fight continues. We are not done yet. Wherever injustice exists and until we are all aforded equal protection and status then we cannot say 'the work is finished'. Peace and Love from the UK.
im sorry to say this, but its never going to be finished. The logic behind intersectionality is to actually pit people against other people to divide the masses and keep us distracted. There is an evil program to lower the age of consent to 16 yrs, or sometimes younger. People really need to take another looks at trans, and being trans. IMO there are very, very rare cases where surgery is needed. Gender dysphoria is real as well, but it is obviously leaves as time goes on and people change. Look at how many people that are in transition right now. There were not so many people scared to tell people, there are of course some, but the numbers don't back up the 5000 percent increase in trans surgeris

I mean I understand if you are from the middle east or a Muslim country things haven't really changed a lot, but to say that we haven't accomplished anything is hilarious. Just ten years ago marriage and adoption was banned for almost all countries, there was no protection to not get fired, bullying was a lot more frequent. There is still a long way to go but it's just amazing how things have changed in just 50 years

@You Tube you're not trash yet you literally harass people for something they can't control, and they're trash for simply existing and you aren't, ok.
i love how all these people are shamelessly swearing
*mood*
That's the best part. If you're from NY, f'in is a mandatory adjective, and an integral part of civil rights.
They don't care if they're swearing. They don't give a shit, and I love it.
All hail the queen who threw that heel and started this uprising. thank you for all who sacrificed for this equality. Walk to that parade and remember someone died for you to be you. Be proud :)
Truly a queen, I rarely ever thought about my own privilege that I have nowadays, because of people before me fighting for gay/trans rights. You rarely ever hear about it, so videos like this are very educational.
The Butterfly effect
Nobody died at Stonewall
Love my trans sisters and brothers and all folks in the rainbow. As a gay dude who has a dash of comfort you better believe I still fighting and marching with you all.
To anyone who ever questions this, or are just downright bigoted: why do you think this is so prolific of a movement? Because it's basic human dignity. And it ain't going away whether you like it or not. And I for one am thrilled to see a future where everyone can just BE.

THIS NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL ITS SO IMPORTANT
1969 is when the stonewall revolution started. it breaks my heart to even imagine the struggles of the older generation of my people had gone through; forcefully fought back SO hard for our rights in order to build a world wide safe environment for us to be embracing our authentic self unapologetically, but they could not live it in their own time. we are truly fortunate due to their efforts and persistence that we're able to be LOUD and PROUD of who we are today. thank you, LOVE soldiers. your loving force has really been paid of, and we shall continue your legacy. LOVE IS LOVE!!
Please upload a censored version without cursing so I can share this with my high school students without fear of my principal running in!
Happy 50th Anniversary. So many amazing stories. We've come so far in the 50 years but still so much more work to be done.
Beautiful video, thank you for making this and teaching our history. I remember when I finally got myself educated about the details of stonewall - it felt like an awakening
This is making me cry reading these comments an watching this video. I'm so disappointed that I have only learned about this today. Thank you for building our future.

"people were joining" that line made me cry.
I really appreciated that they talked about Marsha and Sylvia and how the early lgbt+ movement excluded trans people, and how they talked about intersectionality in general. I do not understand how a community of people who know what it's like to be oppressed would oppress other people within that same group. :(
Fred Sargeant was in Stonewall and he says that Marsha and Sylvia weren't there, they were in drogadict park. And Sylvia had a lot of mysoginy.
Because humans are the wretched species, and Americans MUST have someone to look down on, thus they marginalize others of the same cohort by pretending they are of a higher class. America and her foolishness.
The movement started out as getting equal rights for people with different sexual orientation than heterosexuality.
Transsexuality has nothing to do with sexuality, but rather gender identity. They do not fit into the original category for which the movement was started. Logical. But since when have the trans camp been known for their logic?
Of course y'all matter! EQUALITY HAS TO BE FOR EVERYBODY. I'm a cis girl but I'm with you in this fight. GRACIAS for this amazing documentary 🏳️🌈
The moment they started booing Sylvia Rivera my heart fell apart. Just hearing the audience shocked me. While not trans, I was so pained to see people who were fighting for the same rights for the LGBTQ+ community but couldn't reach a point of understanding with those also a part of it. But acknowledging and discussing the development of the LGBTQ+ community in regards to transphobia, racism, and its overall growth allows me to fully appreciate the community that is today and what it will be in the future. I'm proud to be a part of this lively and diverse community and thank you for presenting such a informative and moving documentary.
What a beautiful documentary!!!! Thank you so much for highlighting our beautiful history!
this made me sob. i will to send this to anyone who belittles the importance of pride. i haven't taken the time to thoroughly educate myself on stonewall until recently and i'm really looking forward to learning more. happy pride everybody
No matter how many times i hear these stories i chock up. No matter how many times i say it its not enough. Thank you! I live in the world i do because of the hard ship you went through.
My heart goes out to everyone what was part of a riot and thank you for fighting for who you are and being incredible. The world is really not accepting but u all really fought for LGBTQ rights and made such a big difference and thank you
I have made my commitment this June to learn more about our history and the things that lead our community to stand where we are now. This video was not only helpful, it was empowering. Thank you
Watching this to learn about my history as a member of the community. It is because of trans women, and women of color that I am able to have and show pride and show contact with my partner today. I’m unable to show pride in my home because of my family but one day I hope I can fly my flags with pride. This video is so important and I hope those educate themselves on this, whether they’re in the community or an ally. Stonewall is such an important piece of our history and should not be silenced or forgotten!!!
@Sularomo sorry to break it to you but it's not a choice to be gay/straight or whatever.
@Sularomo Are you really believe in that?
@Sularomo no actually, if you're gay then you're gay, if you're straight then you're straight. simple as that.
@Sularomo that’s not how this works
@Sularomo you have no idea how many people would rather be straight.
I'm in tears and it's BEAUTIFUL
It's crazy how people try to erase trans people out of this movement
Damn this should be at least two hours long :( love it
It's a destiny that my birthday is on 22nd June, and I'm a proud lesbian now. Just imagine that one day after my birthday in 50 years ago with the Stonewalls stories and we have amazing pride like now. It's such an honor and thankful for all the people have always fight for our community.
knowledge If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of mammals & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who the truth & can defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
@@dan69052 Wow, thank you for your shared knowledge and recommended book.
this is so empowering, i love it so much.
This is a wonderful documentary that depicts the real picture of the Stonewall Inn. Thank You for making it.
THANK YOU, FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID... THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! LOVE IS LOVE
my beautiful trans brothers sisters, i stand with you and for you. LOVE YOU ALL
Humans have always had the inexplicable ability to be unnecessarily cruel to one another. Thank god for the ones that stood up and said no more. We wouldn’t be where we are now without that riot.
17:41 is such a powerful photo. This documentary left me speechless.
So Powerful everyone needs to see this!
This is so emotional 😪
It breaks my heart into pieces

Be proud of who you are, be proud of the accomplishments you have made. 🌈
I'm so lucky that I live in a time where Trans rights and Gay rights are more talked about and it's being seen more as a human right.

This just made me cry, it's great!
Thank you to all brave trans, femme, queer, lesbain, and everyone inbetween who fought back. On your shoulders we stand.
❤️🇳🇬
That would be gays and lesbians.
Thank you for fighting! *Its important to remember that there are still people oppressed all over the world, including getting death penalty.*
Nothing is over. I refuse to back down. Me and people from my country are getting harrassed on daily basis because of who we are.
Continue! 🌈
Just coming back from DC pride and to see all of us LGBTQ people stomp at the capital really speaks on how far those pioneers have brought us. Thank you. I’ll live this month in memory and appreciation of Marsha and Sylvia!!! Happy pride bothers and sisters 💋 🌈

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU!!!
I have recorded pride events across Europe since 1992, seeing millions of people and recording thousands. processing the videos in the winter I see thousands of faces from all walks of life, in the process I get a bigger picture as to what is going on socially. Its a privilege to be a part of it. Its a shame that everything came to a standstill in 2020, it just shows how fast hings can change and the vulnerability of our very being. In 2021 we must all work together to make the whole world a healthy happy experience , free to express our selves healthy. Stay safe in 2021 Happy new year to you all.
Thank you for sharing this history. May pride continue to unite us.
I had no idea about the stonewall riots before this, and i appreciate this so much. Gives good insight on how things were and why this is so important to remember and be aware of.

I'm ashamed I didn't know about this. I may be straight I am not heartless. My longest friend is gay 31 years I adore him everyday!! I will be asking him about this tomorrow.
I'm heterosexual and I heard about Stonewall since I was around 13. I'm 28 years old. I think going to the same school as Sir Ian McKellen (Bolton School) was part of why I heard about Stonewall early on in my life.
It is more than just LGBTQ rights, it's human rights. 🌈
Wow. Thanks for the stories!
I am in tears seeing how far the LGBTQA+ community has come and knowing we still have more work ahead of us to make life for all people better and equal.
honestly you guys I think we need to talk about this situation more often! it's such a wonderful thing that happened and I'm so happy that people had the courage to speak up for all of those who were afraid! And I think we need to continue to do so for all of the people that cant nowadays! ❤
“We’re here! We’re queer! GET USED TO IT!”, was our Pride March chant back when I was involved in the late 80s. We still have a-ways to go...FORWARD!! Keep up the pressure but try to keep it peaceful and clean so we can continue to be perfect examples for the generations that come AFTER us. HAPPY PRIDE!!
I’m Bisexual & I’m here to learn more about the LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 community as a bisexual woman and black & I’m proud to be part of a family who loves,cares & takes care of our own people our family,our LGBTQ+ community.
I’m allowed to be who I am because of these people and that’s something I’ll never be able to repay❤️❤️❤️
That’s not who you are though. The adversary works hard to deceive. Covid is only the beginning of destruction.
I‘m glad they addressed racism in the Stonewall Protests. Unfortunately, too many
white, (upper)middle-class Gays were not inclusive. No intersectionality.
Oh but was it not a trans woman of colour who did everything? 😂
@@K_F_P it was the trans women who gave your pathetic white washed movement a stand.
Sick fa🐐
these people fought, so we could live
Indeed! Let's not forget our 'Matthew Shepherds' though.
@@marciomoura1960 this was way before Mathew Shepard.. but we must remember him !
Thay are true warriors like my ancestors the ancient warriors Thay too fought for us so we live in a better world
Thank you for this, NYC’s LGBT Community Center! It brought back such bitter/sweet memories. I attended my first Gay Liberation Parade in Hollywood, CA in 1970. That was the first time I did anything gay publicly. I was 18 at the time and it was WONDERFUL! I've been out ever since and fully support all the work that is still being done for the LGBT community. Stay proud! Stay strong! - With much love from an old queen in La La Land.

@@dan69052 I get it. And I'm very familiar with the work of Dr. Simon Levay.
I'm not an emotional person but this made me cry
I'm straight and cis but I was so incredibly offended by the fact they booed the trans lady on stage. How dare they? In a time where they needed acceptance the most and they hate on those within their own group, disgusting.
@Sara no u

I wish I learned this in school, I wish I understood instead of the bullshit I was given in school bout the club being a cult and all that shit. It's so important to know the history for pride and I can never express that enough
We need to respect every human being, we need understanding and solidarity, and increase emotional connections between individuals. We need more emotional intelligence and do Emphaty and motivation. God bless everybody.
i've cried while watching this. there's so much inequality and pain in the world and not enough love
I really can't understand why people have hate for other people weather it's gender, sexuality, race, religion, the shape of someone's body & whatever other reasons people find to hate & put people down... none of those things make a good or a bad person. I hate that anyone has to or has had to suffer due to being different. Our differences is what makes us beautiful.

The Stonewall Rebellion was one of the pivotal moments of both the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s & the 20th Century. ❤💙💚💛💜🌈
I was sad to see the trans woman booed on stage, I’m glad we’ve become more accepting but we still have a long way to go
Great to see intersex transgender and non binary people included in pride and not just gay men
As someone who is Non binary and Bisexual, knowing what history can teach people is so important and it's not something that can(or should be glossed over). 💜💚🏳️🌈
