I read this because I wanted to read something that would help me to celebrate LGBTQ+ history month this Oct. When I finished the book by Ari Shapiro and went looking for more, I came across this and I'm so glad I did. The story corps recordings were deeply moving. I also loved the Stonewall documentary at the end. I had no idea how the riots came to be. I es ecially loved that the documentary left me with a few impactful images like one of a drag queen beating a cop with their high heel.
