I think this is exactly what happened at the Stonewall Inn in 1969 except it happened on a large scale. A group of LGBT people had been pushed to a point where they could no longer NOT do anything.
That Stonewall attitude is still with us and is reflected in Gennee's word's,
"....wrongs need to be corrected."
