This petition is for Connections Academy to host an annual "LiveLesson" to teach the history of the Stonewall Riots and how same-sex marriage came to be legalized, including the people who made it happen, such as Edie Windsor, the lead plaintiff in the 2013 Supreme Court of the United States case United States v. Windsor, which overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act and was considered a landmark legal victory for the same-sex marriage movement in the United States.
I am starting this petition to teach LGBT+ youth and all youth the entire, real history of this country. It isn't fair to isolate LGBT+ youth and not teach about their history and struggles.
my history books leave out so much stuff its actually crazy. kids should know about stonewall
