Il 28 giugno di 1969 nel quartiere di New York Stonewall, un gruppo di poliziotti, come facevano di routine, sono entrati in un bar omosessuale per riempire di botte gli omosessuali che vi si trovavano. Ma questi questa volta non le hanno volute e ispirati alle grandi manifestazioni contro la guerra del Vietnam, alle battaglie degli studenti francesi e stanchi di essere fustigati continuamente dalla polizia si sono ribellati durante tre giorni. E' stata la prima volta nella storia che gli omosessuali si sono ribellati in maniera violenta.
D'allora, a giugno, gli omosessuali di tutto il mondo continuano a manifestare contro la discriminazione culturale e dello stato, ma adesso non più di forma violenta ma con un "Pride gay" di carrozze e pieno di colore. Perchè non ribellarsi così, pacificamente, mostrandoci come siamo?
Siamo stufi che la nostra realtà non venga accettata preferendo che non esista, siamo stufi delle risate, delle battute fuori luogo sulle "checche", siamo stanchi di aspettare una risposta alla eterna domanda sul matrimonio, di uno stato che non ci ritiene tutti uguali e che ci dà dei diritti di seconda mano, di un sistema educativo che non potenzia il libero sviluppo dei nostri desideri.

The Stonewall Inn, often shortened to Stonewall, is a gay bar and recreational tavern in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City, and the site of the Stonewall riots of 1969, which is widely considered to be the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.

The Stonewall Jackson House, located at 8 East Washington Street in the Historic District of Lexington, Rockbridge County, Virginia, was the residence of Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson from 1858 to 1861.
The house is a two-story, four bay, brick dwelling with a large, stone rear addition. It has a side-gable roof and interior end chimneys.
The house was constructed in 1800, by Cornelius Dorman. Dr. Archibald Graham purchased the house and significantly expanded it in 1845 by adding a stone addition on the rear and remodeling the front and interior to accommodate his medical practice. Dr. Graham sold the house to then-Major Thomas Jackson, a professor at the nearby Virginia Military Institute, on November 4, 1858, for $3000. It is the only house Jackson ever owned. He lived in the brick and stone house with his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.
It housed Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital from 1907 until 1954; when it was converted to a museum. In 1979 the house was carefully restored to its appearance at the time of the Jacksons' occupancy. The house and garden are owned and operated as a historic house museum by the Virginia Military Institute.

Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in U.S. history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army's right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide, even today, as examples of innovative and bold leadership.

Since 1828, a small, unassuming building currently known as the Jackson Death Site has stood ten miles south of the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. The building was once part of Fairfield, also known as the Chandler Plantation or Guinea Station. Other buildings that once stood within the vicinity of the Jackson Death Site included the farm home, outhouses, a smokehouse, and barns. Built not as a residence but as the farm's office, this building had no fixed purpose like most of the structures around it. Instead, the farm office was used for whatever the inhabitants needed at the time: that could mean simple storage or indoor workspace or file keeping. The farm complex was owned by John Thorton and later the Chandler family. After General Jackson's arm was amputated he was moved here for transport by train to Richmond. During that time he would develop pneumonia and become to ill to travel. He would die here turning this farm into a shrine to forever remember a great general and man.
This monument to Stonewall Jackson is located in Charlottesville, VA. There is a movement afoot to have it removed. He was the most well known military leader in the civil war behind Robert E. Lee. He owned 6 slaves, 3 he received as a wedding present. He died in 1863 from complications of being shot by friendly fire.

The Stonewall National Monument, in the West Village, New York City. Really cool to finally come and see it, though I only went into the visitor center and the gardens across the street, not to the bar itself.

This is a favorite and moderate hike with an outstanding view once you get to the top of the mountian!
