In "Gay Liberation", in the current issue of G&LH, John Lauritsen remembers a seminal moment in gay and social history.
Meanwhile, in "Gossip from Across the Pond", Warren Allen Smith recounts some little-known facts about the Riots, and, in "Out of Print", looks back at the publication in 2004 of Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution.
