After Stonewall (1986)

This documentary was a nice review of GLBT history in terms of politics and movements unrelated to film history. I, naively, don't know much about The Stonewall events or the history of the GLBT political movement. It seems that my generation has never had to really live in secret shame if we chose not to (and of course moved to a tolerant location) and so we have become more apathetic about the politics. Yes, gay marriage is a huge issue, but I don't see any giant marches or parades or protests like this film illustrated. I'm going to refrain from making any more comments on this film and instead post a link to a reveiw that sums it up nicely.
