The Stonewall You Know is a Myth \u2013 and That\u2019s OK: WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

Who threw the first brick at Stonewall? NYT reporter Shane O\u2019Neill wanted to get to the bottom of it, and the inconclusive results are laid out very well in this clip featuring historians, and some who were there.<\/p>\n

Writes O\u2019Neill<\/a>: \u201cFifty years after Stonewall, we\u2019re still arguing about what happened on that night. And that\u2019s kind of the point: Stonewall was, at its core, about people reclaiming their narratives from a society that told them they were sick or pitiful or didn\u2019t even exist. Getting to tell your own story is a gift, but it means that you have to contend with other people\u2019s stories, and I guess that can mean arguing, maybe for 50 years straight. And that\u2019s O.K.\u201d<\/p>\n
