Title Details

Running Time
28 Min.
On June 26, 2015, the United States became the twenty-first and most populous country to legalize same-sex marriage, as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. Take a trip back in time to what is widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States. In the early morning of June 28, 1969 the Stonewall riots occured in Greenwich Village in New York City as members of the gay community fought against a police raid at the Stonewall gay tavern. In this 30-minute radio documentary from the Pacifica Archives hear from people who were there and from those who in the aftermath of the Stonewall riots formed activist groups promoting LGBT rights. A year after the riots on June 28, 1970, the first Gay Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, and today, Gay Pride events are held annually throughout the world toward the end of June to mark the Stonewall riots.
