AARP TV: Stonewall 40 Years Later

[vbabe11111]

can come on channels and blogs like this and be damn rude and disrespectful? get some damn education and remember where you came from and learn to carry yourselves with class and dignity you bunch of morons.

RIP Uncle Jack

[vbabe11111]

i am going to get really irate and nasty in here because i just can't believe what i am hearing. first off, you young ignorant motherfuckers need to respect your elders because if it wasn't for their risking and loosing their lives at stone wall and fighting for the rights of gays you would not have the liberties and freedoms that you have today: no LOGO no village parade no gay marriage etc. i mean i just can't believe it. my uncle died at stone wall and for what? so that you ignorant assholes

[19Rook95]

I found this video helpful, in school i had to do a "Modern" Civil Rights Mini Project.

[heilqueerstapo]

stop fighting for the ass go made the veggie he also created adam and eve gays are brave says some idiot why are they always given a beating

[Myytmovies]

a lot of people depict gays as weak

but i think they are the most brave people in the world

do you know how tough you have to be to admit you're gay or lesbian?

especially back then

(im not gay, im just saying)

[comment6426]

@Myytmovies Yup...then try living as a trans woman or man..takes even more courage.

[jfulbright]

Frank Kameny wasn't exactly thrilled with Stonewall, you know...

[lilteenyweenytuna]

@Truthshallsetu3 I am sorry if you feel as if people are forcing you to accept something. I will respect your freedom to an opinon, I will respect your human rights when you have denied others of it. Compassion? How can you tell me to get some compassion. It is because of compasionless people like you that in 70 countries LGTB people can be jailed or killed! How the hell do you know what God hates?! You can't pray away the gay! I hope one day you go out and actually talk to a gay person.

[Beatles0223]

The folks who have the most to say against gays usually have their own sexual issues to face. (35 year-old hetero woman.)

[lilteenyweenytuna]

@Truthshallsetu3 you're wrong actually. Stone wall did and still does have the power to save people. LGTB who might sucide because of people like you would draw hope from stone wall to keep living on.Hate stems from ignorance, and i feel sorry for you. My god loves everyone. I hope you can try living compasionatley in this life, before worrying about the next. And I'd rather be stuck in your version of "hell" then be in heaven with a god like the one you described.

[Truthshallsetu3]

@lilteenyweenytuna My God hates as much as loves. Yes, The Most High Elohim (God of Heaven) hates gays, Esau, false prophets etc. Homosexuality ruins the backsides of a man's body, that pathway is for exits not entrances. I'm sick to death of being forced to accept a highly wicked lifestyle, I'll rather you tell me that you hate your lifestyle but have problems stopping. Then I could get you born again and have compassion.

[youngsaintsfan]

@Truthshallsetu3 your Giant Obnoxious Douchbag(GOD) is not real. Homosexuality is common in nature, it's like natures birth control pill.

[vidvyuer]

@Truthshallsetu3 There is no scientific proof for the existence of a god or gods. And do not quote the bible as proof. The bible is the claim. ... And a claim without any proof whatsoever... And PS: Xtianity is a lifestyle decision. Gayness is not. I was born gay. You consciously decided to be a xtian.

[Truthshallsetu3]

@vidvyuer Being gay is a choice and always is, you choose who you love or not to love. You choose to be wicked in your perversion.Without knowing the laws in the bible how will you measure righteousness and know the boundary of morality? How will you know the beginnings from the end?

[tlaniganschmidt]

@Truthshallsetu3 thanks for talking to yourself out-loud..the Bible is for people that believe in it.Next time you read St.Paul,notice how he only talks to his fellow Christians.So you believe whatever you want to believe.This is not a theocracy.

[comment6426]

@tlaniganschmidt and I second that however, what did Jesus say about homosexuality???? Hmmm?

[tlaniganschmidt]

@comment6426 Jesus never said anything about gay-sex...

[macfreak21]

Next stop, GAY MARRIAGE. Lets do it boys! :D

21yo gay man

[Truthshallsetu3]

The gay lifestyle is living a sexual perversion, it is unfullfilling and shameful. It is also unnatural and destroys the body of men who engage in it. As for the women dykes, stop the silliness. You need to be with a husband and reproduce or you too will regret it when you get to be 50. Only Christ can completely cure you, repent before its too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[TheFlyingTransman]

@Truthshallsetu3 So I guess people who are infertile will also burn in hell, because they cannot reproduce themselfs. Shame on them!

[Truthshallsetu3]

@TheFlyingTransman

The fornicators, thieves, adulterers, adolators, homosexuals amongst a few who will share the lake of fire if Christ is not accepted. God doesn't want anyone to be lost so it's as simple as accepting Him as your saviour and asking for a new heart. A woman's body is for her husband and a man's is for his wife.

[TheStrong32]

@Truthshallsetu3 Putting a lot of exclamation marks after your statement doesn't make it any less ignorant.

[MegaDAgr8]

@Truthshallsetu3

Using this as an exuse to preach your overly obssesed Christianity is truly pathetic.

[Truthshallsetu3]

@MegaDAgr8 Hell will be for an eternity. Christ died for your sins and each one of us will stand before an all powerful God to explain ourselves and receive justice. Stonewall doesn't have the power to save. God bless you.

[lesliedbruce]

@Truthshallsetu3 Christ never existed. You are taught to believe in religion so the state and government can control the way you act and think. Grow up and wake up...you are a slave.

[janto58]

@Truthshallsetu3 i reject your god of hate and angry.

[lesliedbruce]

@Truthshallsetu3 That is an amazing statement. However, I am North American Indian. I do not believe in your version of "God" and nor do I believe that homosexuality goes against nature or society. Homosexuality has existed for thousands and even millions of years. It's still around today in thousands of non-human species around the world. Your statements are completely and absolutely invalid.

[Truthshallsetu3]

@lesliedbruce It's your choice. God has planted you in a free democratic country where you have the freedom to accept or reject Him at will.

[lesliedbruce]

@Truthshallsetu3 Your "God" does not exist, has never existed and never will exist. The choice is simple...I completely reject your version of "God". Science has shown that gays are born gay. You weren't born to hate...you were created to hate. You are the unnatural one.

[ckqeen1]

THANK YOU to everyone that paved the way for people like me to be, act, and think as I truly am. You have saved the lives of millions, including me! I am marrying my soulmate courtesy of your strength and courage but we still have a long way to go!

[matcotech]

Wow, those rioters are badass! Fuck the police! They work for the church, not us. We will tear their culture of hate down, Brick by Brick!

[MamaMario13]

@matcotech relax, the police are institutionally homophobic and racist, everybody knows that

CRIMINALS FTW! (joking)

[hughesjr]

Fear turns into rage

[avaster]

HELL YEAH! Fags for Life!

[suddenlyitsobvious]

Yeah, there's ALWAYS FEDERAL GUYS behind these types of events. Social engineering, pure and simple, isn't it obvious? Do gays REALLY think stone throwing trannies changed the system? The entire thing was set up.

Stonewall is just a hyped narrative, an event PRECIPITATED by FEDERAL GUYS.

The "glorious fight against the evil oppressor"... Where did we hear that before?

Oh right, we heard it ALL THE TIME...

Rest assured that these things aren't left to chance but ENGINEERED.

[ninau1]

The words riot and gay don't seem to jive Peace 

[carribbeandreams2004]

I BET THE COPS BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE FAGGOTS! THE OLD SUPREME COURT WAS GREAT! ALL YOU OLD FAGGOTS ARE CLOSER TO DEATH AND HELL THAN YOUNG PEOPLE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF BEING A HOMO!

[QueerSwede1]

Amazingly done!! Go gays!

[erikbear9]

I arrived in Boston in the Summer of 1978. My first pride March was when i was visiting Boston to decide where I was going to go to University. It was not that long before that that you could be arrested in a gay bar in Boston for so much as touching another man. It's not about Stoli, or Absolut, or Miller, or RSVP cruises. This is about our rights. Our right to be EQUAL. To every other American. Yes, we have come a long way... but we still have a long way to go.

[saintben2008]

As a proud gay man, I thank all those brave individuals who participated in the Stonewall riots.

[jtubebx1]

We've made amazing progress. And it is great to see these activists and events and to be reminded of all of this history!

The battle for equal rights is far from over. We have major struggles ahead of us in the U.S. over same-sex marriage, LGBT people in the military and basic civil rights protections, etc.

Take a look at other countries, such as Jamaica, Uganda, Malawi, Russia, Serbia and so many other countries where the initial struggle for equal rights is just beginning.

Great video!

[AllTruth1]

@jtubebx1

Stop bringing up Jamaica in your argument because you are an American who needs to mind the business of America.

Start the Internet buzz about the idea of you Gays buying an island or chain of islands to create your own country for Gays worldwide to immigrate there.

[jtubebx1]

@AllTruth1 "Stop bringing up Jamaica in your argument because you are an American . . "

The movement for equal rights for LGBT people is part of a worldwide struggle for freedom and against hatred, violence and oppression. The death or maiming of a gay person in Jamaica is as much a concern of mine as the death by starvation of a child in Africa

The situation of LGBT people in Jamaica is dire, as U know. "It is widely believed that being openly gay in Jamaica is essentially a death sentence"

[AllTruth1]

@jtubebx1

Oh so all of a sudden you are a caring fag, concerned about the death by starvation of a child in Africa.

Yet, you & the Gay Community have tried to starve the children of Jamaica, by calling for worldwide boycott of the island, when even the Jamaican Gays told you, foreign Gays not to do it because you would be taking food out of already poor people's mouths.

Tsst, you mistakenly think that I see you all as real human beings.

Selfish, sick creatures, that's your real nature.

[berner]

@AllTruth1 Best he's a human fag than a god fag.

[AllTruth1]

@berner

God and fag don't go together!

[berner]

@AllTruth1 Well sure they do, as long as you have ignorant religious types. As long as there's prejudice with people who use god and the bible to flaunt their prejudice against other people, as some self gratifying way to suck the dick for popularity points of the fictitious supreme being, then there you have it: God fags.

So yes, I would argue that 'god' and 'fag' go well together. If you're just a nice, friendly, caring theist who doesn't do any of the above, then you're not a god fag

[AllTruth1]

@berner

Wow, have you sought professional help for your psychosis?

[berner]

@AllTruth1 Wait... that's all you got? I bring up valid points and you're all like "Durr, you sought professional help for your psychosis?". Sorry babe, but your god character is a horrible horrible being and if all you can throw my way is nothing more than a point and laugh, then it only proves that not only is the bipolar imaginary friend you worship a sickophant, but also in that god to you is just the part of you you use justify being prejudice against a group of victims of ignorance :)

[AllTruth1]

@berner

I'm not sure what valid points you are referring to but you failed to impress me with any intelligent argument.

In fact, you are a typical Sodomite, full of arrogance, indignation and raging hatred of the Most High which sickens me to read.

FRANKLY, you are a DAMN BORE, as I've heard your BULL CRAP before, coming from hellish creatures like you.

So, there's nothing new coming from your type, just the same `ole, same `ole; big yamn!

Now, do me a favor - keep the sh*t to yourself!

[berner]

Valid points in that religious people like you are prejudice biggots and the problem with people like you is that you just naturally assume that because someone (like myself) doesn't agree with your point of view, that they fall into the target group of your ignorance.

I laugh at you because you actually believe there's a god and on top of that, you're stupid enough to believe he's capable of love :) And if you don't believe me, try reading the bible, the evidence for this is in there

[berner]

@AllTruth1 Anyways, I'll tell you what. Since I'm boring you that much because you don't have any love for all of mankind in your heart, I'll just "turn the other cheek" and go on with my day, and I'll even actually pray to god that he gives your heart the love it needs to forgive, and love everyone equally, and when that day comes, you send me a message here on Youtube telling me he has done so, and I won't type anything to you on this youtube page any further.

[auntiesanity]

@AllTruth1 Your "Most High" can suck my "most low" - and you can kiss my ass.

[AllTruth1]

@auntiesanity

LOW-LIFE CREATURE, I expected nothing more of you than the comment you sent me.

So, typical from a Sodomite:  an anti-Most High statement, a reference to sucking and to the anus.

Lift your lowly character out of the pit of hell where you dwell !

[auntiesanity]

@AllTruth1 I'm not a Sodomite, I live in Taiwan, not Sodom (I think Sodom and the Sodomites were destroyed, yes? You really should watch the news, or at least read you Bible) And I am not even a man! How very darkly the misogynist minds of men work. So, what's it like being a closet Satanist? Please tell - we all want to know what makes a fuckwit like yourself tick. It certainly not Jesus.

[AllTruth1]

@auntiesanity

"I'm not a Sodomite, I live in Taiwan, not Sodom..."

Whether you're an ethnic Taiwanese or a foreigner living in Taiwan, it's irrelevant, as a Sodomite is one who practices SODOMY which is defined as oral and/or anal copulation and I have a strong hunch that you practice at least one of those things.

Furthermore, I'm not a man so I'm not a misogynist; I don't pray to Jesus, a false image of my Lord. Finally, with your ranting like a demon, you certainly exemplify a "Satanist".

[auntiesanity]

@AllTruth1 Never met a demon, so can't say. You obviously socialise with echelons vastly different from my own. I'm not actually interested in your sexual habits - I am surprised (and a little disgusted) that you're thinking of me that way. I want to take a bath... UGH. Besides, your fantasies are very fantastically mistaken. You need to look up "sodomy" in a dictionary. You seem a little confused. You're from a Third World Country, yeah? It shows. PS cussing is not ranting.

[auntiesanity]

@AllTruth1 THAT shut you up, didn't it - scumbag?

[AllTruth1]

@auntiesanity

Scumbag has a description of you next to it!

[auntiesanity]

@AllTruth1 How very Christian of you. Imitatio Christi, shit-for-brains! Or are you too "special".

[christvswarhol]

Constant abuse makes people react.........thank you stonewall

[Locker10a]

They changed the world i live in and millions more will live in for years to come ! I dont live in the USA but Stonewall has made my life better even before i was born ! Thank you

[prepschoolkid]

I commend these proud and courageous men and women who finally decided they wouldnt take shit from anybody!

[marknorthwest93]

Wonderful, positive energy here.  Watching this has sent shivers through me!

[brianh406]

@alilapointe1 What??

[prepschoolkid]

@alilapointe1 You idiot! Homosexuality does not equal pedophilia! Homosexuals engage in consensual relations with the same sex pedophiles rape children! Read a book!

[SearcherForETI]

@ChannelAmsterdam I understand you're jealous of us but maybe one day someone will give you a sympathy fuck

[brianh406]

@ChannelAmsterdam "riotous criminals"

Who are you speaking of?

[MyITRcom]

@ChannelAmsterdam Yeah we should just sit around and be abused by those infected with the God Virus.

[jessica69675]

Thanks for this video. The people who was involved in this riot did a great job on creating positive change!!! I wish i was there to fight!

[rextrek]

Great Video!

[withteeth1989]

Thankyou guys so much. I'm really proud that you did this for us, the gay youth. I can only imagine how hard life was for you. People out there still hate us, but now we live our lives full of optimism, dreaming of the day that we are treated equally and thought of equally by everyone.

[mozfreak84]

I commend all those freedom fighters who paved the way for someone like me, a 23 year old gay man.
