The Gay Rights Movement started on June 28, 1969.  This was the night of the Stonewall Riots



The period after Stonewall saw the rise of many gay rights activists.  One of the most important was Harvey Milk.  Harvey Milk was the first openly gay politician to take office in the United States.  He was opposed by a number of people, including Anita Bryant.



How far have we come today?
