Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Ever since the 1969 riots on the streets outside New York Citys Stonewall Inn, L. G. B. T. Q. communities have gathered there to express their joy, their anger, their pain and their power. Few places are so tightly identified with the birth of a movement as the Stonewall Inn and the streets that surround it, in the downtown Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village. This month marks 50 years since the Stonewall riot, which galvanized a half-century of activism and agitation for L. G. B. T. rights and made Stonewall a recurring stage for public protest, grieving and celebration. Cheryl Furjanics new Op-Doc, Stonewall: The Making of a Monument traces that history, exploring the process by which a chaotic street fight in protest of police brutality has been engraved into history in the form of a national monument. Furjanics film, built from a chorus of voices and archival footage, is also a case study in how mainstream acceptance can, ironically, be a mixed blessing for political movements, as people struggle to control their own history.

I grew up well with bio parents yet with growing pains like everyone. In my life I have met some really accomplished as well as regular people who were adopted, so I think people should just be grateful that they met up with parents who wanted them and were in the position to care for them. I have also met people who grew up with abusive biological parents. Melodramas are just a waste of time. Always move on and pay it forward. Reliving difficult circumstances is futile. The past is done, the future unknown. all we have is the moment of now.

My main issue with this whole situation are the S. J. W. Liberals who DEMAND that people agree with their
agenda. First of all, that is not how you change minds and public opinion. You often get the opposite reaction.
Also, these S. J. W. 's appear to be the only people in this country who do not realize that they are complete
hypocrites. If a person does not agree with them, there is a good chance that violence will come next.

I am standing in the gym, bawling.
Adoption is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child. I could care less when someone tells me we're pregnant! But when I hear someone adopted a baby, I am like I want to hear EVERY detail of your adoption story and making your family whole!
I couldn't care for you, so I gave you an opportunity to go to a family that could.

If it wasnt for these people, I would have been afraid for what is in store for my transgender son. The path ahead is still being forged, but my hope is that my son has a place in this world without discrimination and hate. I wont stop fighting for peace, acceptance, and a happy life for him until I no longer can draw breath.

Thank you for this! The young generation need to know about Stonewall. I am so proud I've seen Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson and Barack Obama.
