Status Updates From Stonewall: The Definitive S...

Karla’s perspective is the most relatable. Because she has the story of a firm apolitical radicalized once she got exposed to the social issues their time was facing.

“They had no politics but plenty of prejudices.”

I’m not surprised that it took another minority, a black commissioner to help the LGBTQ community. Even when it’s something as “small” as not being served drinks at a bar for being homosexual. It puts into perspective that people who aren’t would know that even at a micro scale, homosexuals are discriminated against because of their sex.

It’s interesting how a turning point happened and started a change in conversation about homosexuality through the accumulation of different activism movements since socially, different people were fighting for the same rights as humans. Anti-war, pro-black, pro-gay as well as the assassination of JFK. Historically, it would bring people together.
