stonewall

The day that the fags, dykes, and queens of New York City finally said "Enough!" For some historical perspective, [here is] the story that the New York Daily News ran about the Stonewall Riots. Note how the story drips with condescension and ridicule. We've come a long, long way in 41 years and we've still got some distance to cover, but today we should all offer up a shout, a snap, and a moment of thanks to the people who started us down this road.
