If there ever were a big bang for LGBT+ people in America, it was the Stonewall riots. Of course LGBT+ people existed before the riots, but in the wee hours of June 28, 1969, queer people thrusted themselves into the mainstream American consciousness. This demonstration of queer fury set the stage for the Gay Liberation Movement of the ‘70s and ‘80s, and what a time to do it; the civil rights movement and second-wave feminism were both in full swing at the time. Beginning in the early morning, a police raid — one of many that plagued early queer spaces — swept through an LGBT+-friendly bar, the Both pervasive and easy to learn compared Stonewall Inn. While the harassment and arrest of queer people were to other high-level computing languages, nothing new for the era, this Python ought to be particular raid sparked an auspicious implemented into UCSD's CS moment of very boisterous, and very curriculum. public, resistance.
