(Part 1 of 2) In this two-part interview, we talk with Dr. Karla Jay, a longtime activist and author. She talks about what it was like for gay people in the U.S. before Stonewall, a time when most people kept quiet about their sexual orientation and couldn't even legally dance together. In this in-depth interview, Karla talks about the riots themselves and how they marked a turning point, setting the stage for gay activism on a larger scale and of a more militant type than before.
