Late night adventures have been great. The most unexpected surreal surprise so far for me was stumbling across The Stonewall bar last night. I was attracted just by their massive Pride flags at first and then the sign that read something like “Come see where it all began.” The Stonewall riots was what broke open the doors do the gay rights movement. It was a perfect experience to be able to come during this week of history. I told the man in the photo I learned about the riots in my LGBT film class and he thought that, that was incredible. He was excited for us to be able to experience this moment in history together in New York.
I definitely thanked him.
