Stonewall did not give me my rights either. I am a non-american, born way after the riots occured. An event that happened decades ago in a different country did not affect my life, and I do not owe it, or anyone involved, anything. Especially considering my life still sucks.

Exactly! And I’m sorry to hear. I hope life gets better for you. I know some countries like Poland, Iran, Russia, etc all have decades of work ahead of themselves. Hope the best for you

I'm Russian... I don't live there anymore. But the laws and stuff aren't even the issue, it's the social problems. Even in a "liberal" country. I personally don't care about marriage or anything like that, what hurts me is the shame.

It is strange, how the American story about anything - racism, stonewall, seems to pushed globally. Well, not so strange, considering America's soft power and power in general.
