"I’ll be upfront: this documentary whitewashes the hell out of Stonewall and largely ignores the queer scene in Harlem. There are plenty of black queer people in photographs, but none are interviewed. Marsha P Johnson and Stormé DeLarvarie go unmentioned, though the latter is referenced in an anecdote. Trans people are never referenced, only drag queens. I liked the film because they DID interview Yvonne Ritter, and had a fantastic breakdown of the events of 1969, along with maps of the riots."
