Stonewall is well known; it is often cited.

It's well known where you live. But, in the rest of the country.....not so much. And most of these Biblethumping bigots out here couldn't care less what happened to a bunch of New York queers so long ago anyways.

It was the most well behaved riot that I've ever heard of, Pete. The drag queens formed a line ala Moulin Rouge and taunted the NYPD for being in league with the mob. Priceless.:D
