I do want to add that Stonewall, which happened the next year, was not the only gay protest of the decade.  There had been several others, notably one in San Francisco I believe in the mid-60s, was it?  Stonewall possibly received more attention because it happened in the Northeast, where the nation's media was, and especially since it was in New York City around where much of the media establishment lived and worked.  Yet there were other "baby Stonewalls" that occurred in the U.S. and there was certainly work being done in other ways, such as a peaceful professional-style demonstration outside the White House by gays and lesbians in suits and dresses, as a way of boosting the national image of the homosexual - then almost entirely perceived by everyone as a danger to the national security of the nation.
