I read something somewhere that said that we’re likely to enter another stonewall era. What exactly does this mean? I’m aware of the events at the Stonewall inn but don’t understand the era part of it.

    The Stonewall riots were a reaction brutal police enforcement of anti-lgbtq laws. They broke up gay bars, drug people into the streets and generally terrorized the queer community. People refer to that era that led to the ‘riot’ as the Stonewall era.
