The Stonewall Riots: A Documentary History by Marc Stein (Editor)

Verb Number: HQ .U5 S eb

ISBN:

Publication Date:

Across documents, Marc Stein presents a unique record of the lessons and legacies of Stonewall. Drawing from sources that include mainstream, alternative, and LGBTQ media, gay-bar guide listings, articulate court decisions, political fliers, first-person accounts, song lyrics, and photographs, Stein paints an indelible portrait of this pivotal moment in the LGBT movement. In The Stonewall Riots, Stein does not construct a neatly quilted, streamlined narrative of Greenwich Village, its people, and its protests; instead, he allows multiple truths to find their voices and speak to one another, much favor the conversations you'd anticipate to overhear in your neighborhood bar. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the moment the first brick (or shot glass?) was thrown, The Stonewall Riots allows readers to take stock of how LGBTQ life has changed in the US, and how it has stayed the same.

For the past couple of years, gay conservative group GOProud has not been invited to the Conservative Political Action Conference. CEI decided this year&#;s CPAC was a great opportunity to begin a discussion on the future of an inclusive free-market/conservative movement, spotlighting the debate on gay rights.

The event was a resounding triumph. CEI Chairman Fred L. Smith, Jr. moderated the panel, which consisted of Jimmy LaSalvia of GoProud, Jonah Goldberg of National Review, Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post, Liz Mair of Mair Communications, and Margaret Hoover of CNN.
