Relating to: Above Our Nelly Knees: The Stonewall Riots at 40 The 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots takes place this Sunday. Sexis takes a look back at what Stonewall meant then, and what it means to this day.
We've come a long way since 1969. I'm trying to imagine the results of a riot like this in today's world and how much more disastrous it could be; surely there would be more than 13 people arrested and 4 police officers injured. Without a doubt the Stonewall Riots had a huge impact on gay rights but, were they to happen today instead, would they be a help or hindrance?
