The 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots is coming up, and Gale Publishing just created a blog post on the history of these events that you may find interesting. It also highlights one of the databases we subscribe to through them, Archives of Sexuality & Gender: LGBTQ History and Culture Since 1940, Parts I and II. Current faculty and students can access this resource through the CUNY Law Library Electronic Resources page at http://libguides.law.cuny.edu/az.php. Browse alphabetically or chose the "Gender and Sexuality" subject filter for links to the Gale archives and other resources.

Please take a look at what the Archives of Sexuality & Gender collection has to offer, and keep it in mind whenever you need non-legal historical information on issues related to gender and sexuality. The blog post is linked below and is available to the general public.

SPOTLIGHT ON: STONEWALL UPRISING MARKS 50 YEARS
Through July 14, the New York Public Library is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a pivotal time in LGBTQ history, with a major exhibition, a series of programs, and more. A variety of content from the library’s Stonewall collection can be found in Gale’s Archives of Sexuality & Gender: LGBTQ History and Culture Since 1940, Parts I and II. In a new blog post, we explore the publications that played a key role in creating and defining “Gay Power” in the immediate wake of Stonewall and that helped the gay and le***an community take a more public stance on gay rights.
