S3 E10"The Walls of Jericho"
“The Homosexual Revolution of ’69 started this week in San Francisco as militant homosexuals made war on both gay and straight Establishments.”
Kameny bickers with Wicker over buttons and picks petty fights with lesbian activists. Leo Laurence calls out racism within his own gay organization, so SIR fires him. He calls for a new gay revolution. Meet the street queens of the Village, and hear some of the perils they survive. Finally, we open the oak doors and enter the Stone Wall.
Special guest voice actor Sam Pancake as Vector’s Leo Laurence.
