I went to the Stonewall Inn with an older woman when I was 17 on June 27, 1969, my first visit to a gay bar. I’m one of the few who can say what happened inside the bar. I’m ready for my full story to be known.

Happy Pride Month folks!  If you were expecting a glut of queer fluff to hit your TV screens in the UK, you may be sorely disappointed. What we did get, though, might end up being far more important...
