The Homosexuals, with CBS News Correspondent Mike Wallace. Homosexuality is an enigma. Even in this era of bold sexual mores, it remains a subject that people find disturbing. There were a lot of people living in the village, but mostly, people were bridge and tunnel. I came from Brooklyn or Queens for the weekend. My friends all did from Long Island, and it was a lot of fun. I mean, it was closeness, because a lot of people, family didn't know that their sons and daughters were gay. I've been at Stonewall on and off 45 years on this block 47 years. We come here once in a while to dance. The windows were painted black and blocked of. If you had dressed as a woman you had on three articles of male clothing underneath. And if you're a woman dressed as a man, same thing. Otherwise you went to jail for impersonation. Cuz remember, gay life was a disease in those days. [ MUSIC ] 1969, when the police raided the bar, nobody knew what was gonna happen. They were pushing and shoving everybody around it. These guys were nasty. And people fought back. Nobody knows that spark that started it, but people saying, " Oh [ BLEEP ], we've had enough ." And after it was over, we figured that's it. It was a raid. We looked at it as a raid. It was over. Nothing was going to happen anymore. Who knew? But the Stonewall rebellion made every newspaper, was on television every day. And people just killed after that, newspaper articles, magazines which made it bigger and bigger until we became where it all started. [ CROSSTALK ] Sylviarivera was one of the icons in the village in those days, and she would preach to people about equality. We didn't even understand drag queens, and cross dressers, and transgenders because we were just used to us. And Silvia was always fighting for the rights of everybody, she's like one of the originals. She would talk to people at Lamder, the Madison society, everything to get equality. But nobody would listen in those days. Revolution now ! >> We got to teach the younger generation what the older generation went through for them. but we fought hard for them because they're going to carry it on. They have to do more failure when we go. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Remembering Stonewall","description":"Watch Stonewall bartender talk about the history of the LGBT movement in NYC","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/9UkBhruj/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-26T15:17:13.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9UkBhruj.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/9UkBhruj/","duration":"PT2M53S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/9UkBhruj/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
