This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, an event that is considered a milestone in gay rights history. We talked to some of the people who experienced those explosive June nights firsthand.  Their stories are also featured in David Carter’s book “Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution.”
