Stonewall Uprising (PBS)

Although the documentary is very interesting and gives the perspective of many homosexuals that lived through the Stonewall riots. It seems as though civil rights have increased for most minorities in the U.S. (women, african americans...) except homosexuals. The idea of arresting and harassing gay Americans only for their sexual orientation is a travesty. The fear of the unknown is usually the root of ignorance, and this documentary demonstrated not only the ignorance of many Americans in the 60s but that many of these feelings still remain today.
