The mythos of Stonewall has travelled way beyond the US though. It was the inspiration for Sydney's march that was attacked by cops and became the G&L Mardi Gras of today. It obviously inspired the name of the UK organisation that has gone on to betray LGB people. It's the source of the name of Berlin's Christopher Street parade etc. And there is a good reason why it's become to renowned: because the people at the bar fought back instead of taking it as they always had in the past, no minor feat in those scary days. The problem is that it's treated as the source of all our hard won rights and all thanks to two imaginary transwomen of colour, completely ignoring all the efforts of people before, after and everywhere else in the world.
