Very true, we often take their sacrifices for granted. They stood up against oppression and they won. But the battle is not over yet. It is still legal in many parts of the US to fire people just for being gay. This is a violation of basic human rights and must end.
(again) gay men & women: Know your history! Great upload showing that the gay revolution was a part of the cultural revolution of the 60'ies. This happened not overnight. Brave men & women, revolutionaries & heroes, were organizing as early as in the 40's & 50's This docu pays tribute to them
Haiiro no Sora there definitely is, you can probably find some at Barnes and nobles during pride, sadly, it’s harder to find this stuff any other month of the year😕
You had to be very brave to come out during those times. Even in the 90's it was still scary. I applaud them & their work to make it easier to live openly now.
An extremely important upload. Thank you to all of those people who risked and sacrificed their lives so that there would be a brighter future full of love.
Thank my sweet Lady for your comments about Homosexuality, for both Gay and Lesbians ladies. As a Psychologist in Clinical and Forensic psychology, I agree with every statement you made. I am happy to say now, we are almost at the end of mistreatment for Our Community. Having to fight for every right to be treated Better. And so for that,I thank you again.

Beautiful and very educational thanks. I am in Berlin right now on vacation and today I saw a Sign and a picture discussing what happened to many gay people in Germany during the Second World War and it was horrible and really sad. Love to all of you from my channel
Real Dudes Party Nude The connotation (emotional feeling) behind the phrase “that’s so gay” is always negative. It is used as a synonym for “dumb” and “stupid” and “weird.” That’s why it’s offensive. It is equating gay with something wrong.
To be for most of the youth this day say that's gay in a more meaningless way like just a phrase people say. I know I've called both things I like and think is stupid as "gay" It's better for something like that to just lose its meaning then to give it strength
Very informative and quite entertaining! Gay history and it's warriors of acceptance is profound and much appreciated. We need a Hall of Fame to honor those who have struggled and died to overcome!
Being gay is not a lifestyle choice , every persons sexuality is decided in their mothers womb , just the same as some people are born right handed and some are born left handed and they live this way all their life
Thanks for everyone that made rights happen! It’s actions that define the fabric of being. As the Dalai Lama said in one of his words it’s the The balance of Yin and yang ☯️ . And as Lorraine Warren Ed warren said “Diabolical forces are formidable. These forces are eternal, and they exist today. The fairy tale is true. The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges upon which one we elect to follow.” My saying As Simple one follows things as simple life can be.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to those early activists, and to those who even today are rising up to challenge abuses and injustices particularly in the Middle East and Russia we salute you all. The fight for total inclusion continues.
It’s a free world 🌎 you can be when ever you like bisexual gay man or lesbian we are proud of ourselves it’s in our lives we can choose where we are👍👍👍👍👍👍
No one has the right to tell you who to love and it's about time that we let the Churches know we love God as much as straight people and we can fight back by telling your friends that we were made by the same God they were.
this is a very useful and informative video. is there a chance that you can give me the name of this documentary? i really need to see the whole of it. and if there's more like it, please inform me. thank you
Very good. A valuable history lesson. It does have a West Coast slant though. No mention of Barbara Gittings, Frank Kameny, the National Reminder demonstrations in Philadelphia, the sit ins at Dewey's, and scant mention of Stonewall.
Thank you so much for this information, it's still so difficult to research our history and that just goes to show the fight is very much ongoing. That and this "straight pride" bullshit. I really appreciate hearing about all of the strong people that came before, who fought with such courage and dignity that allows me to have the freedom I have today. They deserve recognition.
LGBT people are soo over looked in history, I love knowing that even way back then we found a way to fight the fight. I just hope we aren’t deleted from history like most of these people were
This is an important story. Thank you for reminding us of the forgotten history of the LGBTQ community. And thank you for highlighting the struggles of those courageous pioneers and activists. www.queercafe.net
He uses the term lgbt but that is a quite recent acronym. It did not exist back in the time period he refers to. I doubt they would have accepted being all lumped together in that way.
I remember that in the early 80's in high school. Transgendered guys would still hang with the more masculine gay guys. Including androgynous lesbians with lipstick lesbians. There was even at that time Asexuals within our group (or what we call today Questioning). So before the acronym came about those circles were formed!
These wonderful people are the true heroes of the gay community, I am so grateful they stood up and allowed us to live our true lives. I am so very sad for the poor souls who were "tortured" into being cured, what a travesty!!!!!!!
that is a very good point. That in the communist countries and former communist countries, they say that homosexuality is a decadent western capitalist thing that threatens their society, and in the western countries for many decades the gay rights movements were once accused of being a communist threat.
Germany in the early 20th century was the most advanced place in the world when it came to homosexuality (although it was not much compared to nowadays). But then the Nazi's came along and destroyed everything.
There is nothing special for a person to discover that he was created slanting towards a sin as a test from his Creator, only then to surrender to it. Giving in to the impulses of lusts is not a sign of strength or victory. Rather, it is a sign of weakness and defeat.
Gay lesbian trans who every you are, should have the right to love. Am not a part of the LGBTQ but you guys have my full support 100%., I think we as human-beings should treat each other with respect, doesnt matter your sexuality.
It was a hell of a time and now it's kind of crazy cuz we learn all this after the fact. It's a trip it's like taking a boat to China and winding up in Tajikistan
I was at church once, I think it was last year, and they made us sit through this video about a woman who said she "used to be" lesbian and she was "healed" or something and it really irked me that she decided to lie to herself about her identity because of homophobia disguised as religion. And how ignorant she sounded. You can't just stop feeling attracted to certain people like that.
Darius in some older people in nursing homes constipation has been the cause of passing out and non responsiveness l it is a good point you brought up saying that. More than once i have seen the vega
if i was nt gay/transgender i still wouldnt be focusing on how other ppl love and live their life it just amazes me how non gay ppl reality take the gay thing to heart as if they are ones gay like really i dont lknow you from a rock but you dont like me becasue of how i live my life get your happiness its free damit
Sure grateful for this because some people, many of them "young influencers," just repeat what they've heard without bothering to study or check the facts of our history. And there are quite a few number of people spreading other scenarios and not giving credit where credit is due.
Stonewall didn't start anything. San Francisco in particular led the charge for Gay Rights. When Stonewall occurred, the New York press gave it national coverage: and thereafter, led by San Francisco, the varied and disparate efforts coalesced to form the modern Gay Rights movement. San Francisco has been at the vanguard of the movement, while New York has been largely absent. The New York press is trying to hijack history and recast New York in the role that San Francisco actually played in the struggle for Gay Rights. Undeserved and Stolen Valor!!!
If you are Gay, Transgender, Bi-Sexual Lesbian, or even Straight I Am a minister and I will Marry anyone who comes to me Love is Love and that feeling was sent by God! So Learn this mankind makes it harder on themselves then it needs to be. Once you have given your life to God he never walks away you might but he is there loving you all throughout your slipups.
It’s been while since you’ve posted this but I was wondering where you actually got this video from? I wanted to use it as a reference in a research essay I’m writing about history of lgbt+ rights in The US
My father beat me with a tree like mb from the oak out front of the house that he made me cut. I passed out after a few minutes and when I woke up he started again. My mom did not get involved but did cry while he beat me. I went to whereof who arrested me and took me back home where my dad proceeded to beat me with a yard water hose.
If you enjoy Gay, Coming of Age videos and stories, you’ll want to read Cameron DeCessna’s latest book, Clay Parker: Growing Up Gay in 1953. It’s the story of a fourteen-year-old boy confused by his feelings, thoughts, and dreams as he reaches adolescence and finds his sexual interests are for other teenage boys. But it's 1953, a time of conservatism and rigid family and moral values. To top off Clay's problems, he's an orphan forced to live with an abusive aunt and uncle who openly show their distaste for the lad who was severely burned when a house fire killed his mother, father, and younger brother. They would be the last persons he could turn to, to help him cope with his alien feelings. This is the story of Clay's troubles, trials, and final triumph as he strives to find a family who will love him after he is forced to run away from home after a severe beating by his drunken uncle. One part of the story deals with Clay's uncomfortable experiences listening to a sermon at his aunt and uncle's church. He discovers the real meaning behind the story of Sodom & Gomorrah and how it demonstrates the Bible's condemnation of being queer. The book contains graphic sexual descriptions that may not be suitable for children under 12, although it would be highly recommended reading for gay teens to raise their awareness of the struggles of adolescent gay boys in earlier times. Cameron DeCessna is a gay novelist best known for his Jordan Dare Trilogy, released in mid-summer of 2018 and available at Amazon Kindle Books. While the Jordan Dare series is written for all readers, 12 and up, and has no adult-only content, some of DeCessna's works are more suitable for adult readers. This novel, Clay Parker: Growing up Gay in 1953, is the first of several gay, coming-of-age stories the author plans to release in late 2018 and 2019. DeCessna, born in 1951, writes from personal experience and vividly captures the difficulties faced by gay adolescents during those times. Look for Cameron DeCessna’s books and visit his author’s page at Amazon/Kindle Publishing. Clay Parker, like Boy Erased, would make a wonderful motion picture.

I bet this is really great to watch as a gay person, but please also include bi- and pansexuals. If I remember correctly “homosexuality” was said 8 times in this video bisexuality and pansexuality, not once. Certainly bisexuals and pansexuals were also tortured in conversion “therapy” it wouldn’t have hurt to include that. I don’t know about the events that happened in this video. Maybe there were really only gays and lesbians there but I think that’s very unlikely.
Darius Anderton o have seen people pass out and become non responsiveness many times from the vegal nerve being hit due to constipation while sitting on the toilet. So yes at very rare instances constipation has caused deayh mostly in elderly. Working in nursing homes since 83 i have seen that occur only once. Passing out and non responsiveness from vegal nerve stimulation many times. It us very dangerous. Feel feel to look it up inder just constipation if you want and do yhe math. Common sense after reading that you will be able to figure out how dangerous anal sex is. I am sure you are a smart person
It doesn’t really spark further out until WWII? I’m not really sure what that means, but I think it’s also denying everything that was happening before then, especially after WWI.
@@ohthelovelypoems there are already lots of RU-vid videos showing Gay life before WWII. That’s not the subject here and that’s fine, but to imply they’re not presenting anything before WWII because it wasn’t significant is pretty dismissive of everything that went on before WWII.
You could always make your own documentary about the contributions of LGBTQ+ people of color. Why don't you do that and stop whining on another person's video.
The stonewall incident has absolutely nothing to do with sexual preference and everything to do with race....Stop comparing homosexuality to the brutality and inhumane treatment that Foundational Black Americans have always received in this country.....Personally I don’t give two shits about your sexual preference....keep your bedroom activity to yourself in the bedroom.....Nothing to rally or march about....LGBTis the fakest non movement of the 21st century.
Paul Sanders At the time of the Stonewall raid there were several other gay clubs that were operating that were predominantly white and they were not targeted......Additionally the Stonewall incident was centered around a club that was run by the mafia and they were the subject of law enforcement attention because of the prostitution and other criminal activity that everyone knew was associated with the club......Furthermore, the black lesbian woman who was the one that was assaulted by the police was not assaulted because she was gay but more so because of the color of her skin and I think it is absolutely disrespectful to even attempt to compare what Foundational Black Americans have endured in this country to individuals who have a predilection for sleeping with people of the same sex.......there is absolutely no comparison and often what I see within the LGBT community are white people who are just as racist and deplorable as heterosexual white supremacists.....I have no tolerance for this bullshit movement that leads absolutely no where and I would much rather that you keep your bedroom activities to yourself.
