Stonewall Uprising (PBS American Experience) Online

[KittyWampus]

When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City on June 28, 1969, the street erupted into violent protests that lasted for the next six days. The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world.

Program gives a lot of background color to what it was like in the late 60's-70's to be gay and the anti-gay propaganda of the time.

Back then, "there was no out, there was only in".

Missed it on tv but it is here online along with lots of sidebars:
