The thing about memory is that when Rivera found out that people of a scholarly bent were researching a history of Stonewall, he approached gay men he knew would be interviewed and asked them to lie for him and to say he had been there on the first night. Given that, I think that Rivera had a pretty clear idea that he had been on-record telling a story that was now likely to be revealed as false.
