If there had been a riot of that proportion in Harlem, my God, you know, there'd have been cameras everywhere.

我们还不一定知道我们要去哪里,你知道,我们将成为什么组织,或者事情会如何发展,但我们成为了我作为一个人,可以突然抓住的东西,当我小时候去地铁T-room,或第42街电影院,你知道,或被某个肮脏的老人抓住时,我无法抓住它。
You know, all of a sudden, I had brothers and sisters, you know, which I didn't have before.

And I hadn't had enough sleep, so I was in a somewhat feverish state, and I thought, "We have to do something, we have to do something," and I thought, "We have to have a protest march of our own." And they were having a meeting at town hall and there were 400 guys who showed up, and I think a couple of women, talking about these riots, 'cause everybody was really energized and upset and angry about it.
我睡眠不足,所以我有点发烧,我想,“我们必须做点什么,我们必须做点什么,”我想,“我们必须有自己的抗议游行。”他们在市政厅开会,有 400 名男子出席,我想还有一些女性,正在谈论这些骚乱,因为每个人都对此感到非常兴奋、不安和愤怒。

So I got into the subway, and on the car was somebody I recognized and he said, "I've never been so scared in my life," and I said, "Well, please let there be more than ten of us, just please let there be more than ten of us.
所以我上了地铁,车上有一个我认识的人,他说,“我这辈子从来没有这么害怕过,”我说,“好吧,请让我们有十多个人,请让我们有十多个人。
Because its all right in the Village, but the minute we cross 14th street, if there's only ten of us, God knows what's going to happen to us."
因为在村子里还好,但是当我们穿过第 14 街的那一刻,如果我们只有十个人,天知道我们会发生什么。”

America thought we were these homosexual monsters and we were so innocent, and oddly enough, we were so American.
美国认为我们是这些同性恋怪物,我们是如此天真,奇怪的是,我们是如此美国人。
Virginia Apuzzo: It's very American to say, "This is not right." It's very American to say, "You promised equality, you promised freedom." And in a sense the Stonewall riots said, "Get off our backs, deliver on the promise." So in every gay pride parade every year, Stonewall lives.
Virginia Apuzzo:说“这是不对的”是非常美国式的说法。 “你承诺了平等,你承诺了自由。”这句话非常美国化。从某种意义上说,石墙骚乱是在说:“别再背着我们了,兑现诺言吧。”因此,在每年的每一次同性恋骄傲游行中,斯通沃尔都会出现。
Martin Boyce: It was another great step forward in the story of human rights, that's what it was.
