My in depth research focused more on the after affects of the Stonewall Riots. So many things were started from this one conflict. The article I read talked about how the riots were the major starter of the gay rights movement. The article said that "adoptions by same-sex couples. Domestic partnerships. Civil unions. Shared health benefits. Same-sex marriages. They all can be traced back to the infamous bar on Christopher Street that was a gathering place for people on the fringe of traditional society." I am guessing that no one in the Stonewall Inn that night, especially the person who started the riot, ever thought that so much good would come from it. It is amazing how one little event in history can change the present and future so much.
