• Stonewall

Just as a (slightly late) reminder to Blogora readers, this weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the raid on the Stonewall Inn and the subsequent riots in Greenwich Village. An interesting archive of contemporary reports on Stonewall is available here, from a Columbia exhibit celebrating Stonewall's 25th anniversary.

It seems to me that this year, with the legalization of gay marriage in several states, the LGBT community's frustration with the Obama administration, and the continued battles over California's Proposition 8, that it seems especially timely to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
