Thirty nine years ago, the Gay Rights Movement began with the Stonewell Riots. Today, in NYC, there will be the city's Gay Rights Parade in which Mayor Bloomburg will attend and Gov. Paterson will march. It ends at the Stonewall Inn.
Rarely has a social movement expanded rights in such a short period of time, moving from criminalization to marriage in less than forty years.
