Episode notes

Stonewall is famously where gay rights began it was a bar back in the day. It was illegal for gay men to congregate I think across the united states but certainly in New York city where stonewall was. Police would literally come pack everybody up fingerprint them and send them home shut the place down. This would end up in the news and these men would lose their jobs as a result. The rioters were mostly white gay men that's who was there, with some lesbians and cross-dressers not even identifying as trans because that's not what people called themselves then.
