Stonewall and It's Impact on the Gay Liberatn Movement ExternalThis set primary sourc to explore the events precedg and surroundg the Stonewall Inn uprisg as well as the aftermath of the rts the gay liberatn movement of the 1970s and 1980s. Memorate the Christopher Street Uprisgs of last summer which thoands of homosexuals went to the streets to monstrate agast centuri of ernment hostily to employment and hog discrimatn, Mafia ntrol of Gay bars, and anti-Homosexual laws" (Christopher Street Liberatn Day Commtee Fliers, Frankl Kameny Papers).
Soon they were advotg nothg ls than “gay liberatn” nscns-raisg groups to fundraisg danc, protts outsi hostile newspapers to refug for homels trans and queer people, this surge LGBTQ+ anisg took many forms, and as the first anniversary of the rts me to view, some the muny began discsg how bt to mark what was beg regard as the “Bastille day” of gay rights. Wh a sgle lifetime, homosexualy has moved om beg a crime and a psychiatric disorr, punished the US by imprisonment, chemil stratn, social ostracisatn and a lifetime as a registered sex offenr, to a socially and legally regnised sexual inty.
The roots of that bate go back to s earlit days, and suggt that Pri and the Stonewall rts have always been part of a ntent battle for inty and ownership – a battle that has helped produce the very ia of what beg a lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr or queer person might Stonewall rts were not the birth of the gay rights movement.
