In this video, an early Stone Wall Inn patron, now 61, recounts how the bar in Greenwich Village served to be his home as a teenage stowaway. He also reflects on the riots and how they shaped gay rights in forty years.
Now, this is how colorful the movement has become as they walk proud on this year’s Pride Week Parade.
