I was originally going to say that this should be required viewing for young LGBTQ people, in order for them to have a better understanding of our history. But correct that to say that EVERYONE should watch this in order to better understand a segment of our society that has been brutally mistreated since...well, since forever.
I lived in New York and came out (finally, at age 30) the same week that Marsha was murdered, in July 1992. I can't believe I don't remember this happening. :-(
While this film isn't perfect, it tells an important story and the other people involved (Silvia, Victoria, etc.) are as compelling and worth knowing about as Marsha was. The details of their lives and experiences are compelling.
I'm only sorry I'm discovering all this lo these many years later.
