Stonewall Non-Blurb by Shale September 25, 2015 I am conflicted this weekend. There are no movies playing that I really must see, (With acrophobia and possible vertigo, Everest is not on my must see list) so guess I will scrounge thru my DVD collection to find a movie fix. I would see Stonewall but it is being panned by reviewers, both gay and str8 for things other than its fictionalizing an actual historic movement.

I was exploring my expanded sexuality with men and women in New Orleans, a rather insular focus at the time. So, guess I have to take the accounts of ppl who actually were there - and they say the movie is pretty much hocum. So, lemme see what DVDs I have. Far From Heaven? Probably an accurate portrayal of closeted gay family men from a time that I remember but a bit of a downer. Woodstock? A happier happening in 1969, a year before my own sequel at the Atlanta Pop Festival and a real documentary. Chasing Amy? A later portrayal of internal gay/str8 infighting where bisexuality is not accepted by all. Trick? A cute rom-com with two cute guys trying to hook up in NYC with no one harassing them - a good result coming from the historic Stonewall Riots. Yeah, that might be a good way to celebrate this history. 2 Cute Guys On the Streets of NYC
