Do you think all this was in part because people were so angry for so long?

People were very angry for so long.

I mean how long can you live in a car?

It's the beginning of July 1969 and the riots are over.

But some of the most important things about the Stonewall Uprising have yet to happen.

I want to take you through the year or so of chaos, organizing, protest, and celebration

that happened after Stonewall, to hear how activists took six nights of unrest in Greenwich Village and built them into a national movement.

And we're going to try to trace how the anger that erupted outside the Stonewall Inn was channeled, co-opted, and in some cases excluded from organizations

and events that helped shape the movement for decades to come.

How Anger Fueled Power and joy coalesced into pride.

This is Making Gay History's Stonewall 50 Season

and I'm joined by an amazing guide to help us on this part of our journey.

This is Breck Artery, and I am the producer and narrator of a documentary record album called June 28th 1970, Gay and Proud.

The Stonewall Rebellion served notice on the heterosexual majority that a growing number of gays were not afraid anymore and were not content to continue living out their lives in fear and oppression.

Breck Ardery made the first ever documentary about Stonewall and its aftermath in 1970.

He made it in his spare time with a Sony tape recorder and he released it as a vinyl record pressing just 400 or so copies.

The Stonewall Rebellion will be remembered as one of the major turning points in the

homosexual struggle for equality.

When I held this record and played it for the first time just a couple of months ago, it

keep me chills.

The album cover reads, June 28th, 1970, Gay and Proud, a living history of the homosexual rights movement.
