Stonewall Uprising

Em honra dos cinquenta anos das revoltas de Stonewall. Orgulho hetero my ass! Eu já tive a infelicidade de assistir alguns daqueles videos educacionais americanos que tratavam a homossexualidade como anormalidade mas aqui a dimensão homofóbica daquele período fica ainda mais ultrajante, não pude deixar de rolar algumas lágrimas ao lado daquele senhorzinho que começou a chorar relembrando o sucesso da primeira parada do orgulho gay um ano depois da revolta de Stonewall. Youtube.

The best doc I've seen about this seminal movement in the modern gay rights movement, deftly mixing emotional first-person accounts with archival footage and recreations. Nearly every "talking head" breaks down at some point, remembering the power they felt to finally fight back. Not just for gay folks, every person with a gay friend should see this. Remember?

Stonewall Uprising commits an unfortunate revisionism: Every person interviewed in the doc refocuses that legendary civil disobedience at the Stonewall Inn as a homogeneously white, mostly male memory. Stonewall Uprising's history is gentrified history.

" Stonewall Uprising deploys familiar PSA-cum-hate-crimes like the infamous "Boys Beware" with very little restraint in order to truly establish Stonewall's prehistory as a No M2M's Land." - Eric Henderson
