Over the Rainbow by Jewelle Gomez

On a hot evening in the summer of 1969, New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, setting in motion a riot which many see as the start of the fight for the equal treatment of male and female homosexuals by society and the law. Tying in with a Channel 4 documentary series, this book brings together the voices of those marching behind the "rainbow flag" and their experiences since the Stonewall riot. The reminiscinces incorporate the AIDS crisis, confronting the fundamentalist Christian backlash, campaigning for an end to the ban against homosexuals in the military, and engineering the 1993 march on Washington.
