Though the Stonewall uprising didn&rsquo\;t start the gay rights movement\, it wa s a galvanizing force for LGBTQ political activism\, leading to numerous g ay rights organizations\, including the Gay Liberation Front\, Human Right s Campaign\, GLAAD\, and PFLAG. Today\, the Respect for Marriage Act\, pos itive portrayals of LGBTQ characters in movies and television\, and countl ess Pride events are just some of the many benefits that might not have be en possible if a group of gay men hadn&rsquo\;t stood their ground on a ho t summer&rsquo\;s night in Greenwich Village. This program explores the le ad-up and the after-effect of this pivotal LGBTQ event.
