  • ""A fictionalized account of a subject widely covered in docu form, Stonewall takes its name from the legendary Greenwich Village gay bar and its dramatic cue from the 1969 riot in which drag queens took on New York cops curing a raid on the premises, signaling the beginnings of the gay pride movement. ... The story centers on Matty Dean, a handsome country boy who hits New York expecting a free-thinking gay paradise. He hooks up with LaMiranda, a sassy young drag queen whom he follows into the Stonewall and then to a night in the slammer after attempting to defend him from the brutal cops who show up on a routine harassment stop. Running parallel to Matty's blossoming romance with LaMiranda, he meets Ethan, a member of an ineffectual gay activist group hoping to promote tolerance for homosexuals by presenting a white-bread, clean-cut image and angling more for sympathy than respect. A third track follows neighborhood drag queen godmother Bustonia, and her secret relationship with the Stonewall's owner, Vinnie. Not wanting to give her up, but equally unwilling to go public, he attempts to push her into a sex-change operation in the hope of becoming an everyday heterosexual couple. When cops raid the bar again, Bustonia's anger and grief after the sudden loss of Vinnie prevent her from going quietly, and her reaction triggers the riot"--Variety review, June 5, 1995."@en
