All of these programs are about or the result of a Police raid in 1969 on the Stonewall Inn a popular Gay Club in NY. There were riots after the raid. The gays had been discriminated against and had to keep up an appearance that they were heterosexual for too long. They would lose thier jobs and be discriminated against in various ways if they were identified as being Gay. The Stonewall Riots ensued along with a wave of gays coming out of the closet and proclaiming that they were homosexual. This one incident was the beginning of Gay Rights in America.
