  • Fabulous story. Brilliant delivery. This is a wonderful video that I have used to teach the history of gay rights with my school children in the UK.

    Thank you.

  • @leyubar Thanks so much. And thanks for teaching kids about our history. In some parts of the US teaching gay history could get you tarred and feathered.

  • your an excellent story teller i almost feel like im there awesome thank you so much for this post its more than i could imagine finding xx

  • @kraigyb Thanks so much for watching and your kind comments. It is rewarding to know this video is still reaching people.

  • Thanks for all the extra info on this event.I'm well aquainted with 70's GVillage gay life.When you were tellling the story,I could actually visualize being there.Thanks for humanizing it for me!

  • @tet43 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I miss the 70s in the Village. Mostly I miss being in my 20s :) It was so much fun to be in NY then.

  • Today is the hard work from ppl. in the past.... I do appreciated..... thanks....

  • We are now realizing that homosexuality is more than a sexual act. It is about a whole different world view in many ways.

  • a lot of gay bars years ago were run by the mob all over the country

  • Omg, thank you for this educational telling of this historical event when the LBGT community decided we had enough. I wasn't born for another year when it happened but by your way of story telling it I feel as if I was there. God bless you.

  • Adding my voice to the others who are applauding you!! You did an outstanding job on this video.

  • Thank you...
