	Stonewall riots Summary
		The Stonewall Rebellion became a "metaphor for emergence, visibility and pride," one that publicly affirmed the identity of a people burdened with a tradition of invisibility and abuse.
		The Stonewall riots, which as a whole are often called the Stonewall Rebellion, were a series of violent conflicts between gay men and women and police officers in New York City.
		"Stonewall," as the raids are often referred to, is generally considered a turning point for the modern gay rights movement worldwide, as it is one of the first times in modern history a significant body of gay people resisted arrest.

		Former Stonewall campaigner Chris Morris left the organisation in 1999 after becoming frustrated with the way the organisation was changing.

	Analysis: UK’s Magna Carta 2000
		The current British government forced a bill to equalize the age of consent despite the dissenting House of Lords, in part because a case brought against the UK by two sixteen year olds was on hold in Strasbourg, pending the promised revision of the law.
		Stonewall is focusing first on instances in which the law favors heterosexual unmarried couples over homosexual partnerships; an example is criminal injuries compensation.
		Stonewall is planning to take either that case, or another like it, to court under the Human Rights Act.

	The Observer \| Comment \| In the pink
		On the evening Angela Mason was appointed director of Stonewall in 1992, activist thespian Michael Cashman, co-founder of the gay rights organisation, found himself having to justify the decision to a semi-clandestine gathering of prominent gay Tories.
		When Stonewall was judged not to have given adequate support to Brian Paddick, the most senior gay policeman in the Metropolitan Police, when he was moved from his post in Lambeth earlier this year, the gay press received warnings that the Angry Brigade was angry with her.
		Stonewall was also criticised for not distancing itself from Frank Dobson, the Labour London mayoral candidate in 2000, after he issued an advert saying that he would not pander to 'flag-waving minorities'.
