"A compelling history of the gay rights movement leading up to the riots at the Stonewall Inn and ending at the first Gay Pride marches in LA and NYC. Duberman follows the lives of six activists - from a tough queen raised on the streets to a conservative intellectual to reluctantly-involved black lesbian affected with Lupus to a militant, boisterous cohort of Abbie Hoffman. He offers an in-depth chronicle of the challenges of organizing, the repercussions of "coming out" and doesn't shy away from the drugs, romances and power struggles that often disrupt the effort to unite for a common cause. This history gives good insight into the cultural foment of the time, and how the gay rights struggle fits in alongside the efforts of the Black Panthers, Womens Liberation Movements and the protests to stop the war. Good reading for anyone interested in expanding their understanding of the 60s and a liberation movement."
"Best synopsis of the Stonewall riots and the gay rights movement both before and after this event. My favorite individual that the author profiled was Sylvia, hands down. Duberman's writing style is easily accessible, and is a must read for anyone who is either gay and/or interested in the movement surrounding gay rights."
"The first 200 pages or so of this book FLEW by. And then... Then, not so much. The story of the six people's childhoods and young adulthoods were really compelling, but then things got a little boring.
I'm sure it's a great historical piece and I wish I could finish it. Perhaps I will when I'm feeling more patient."
