That Stonewall attitude is still with us and is reflected in Gennee's word's, "....wrongs need to be corrected."

Stonewall needed to happen and it turned out for the better. It was the same three years earlier in San Francisco with the Compton Cafeteria riots. I'm so happy that these events happened because it demonstrates that we the people can affect change.
