In Search of Stonewall: The Riots at 50, The G&LR at 25
Published by The Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide to Commemorate 25 Years of Publication
The Gay & Lesbian Review reached a milestone with the publication of its first issue of 2019: the completion of its 25th year. To commemorate this achievement, the editor has published a book titled In Search of Stonewall, a collection of articles about the LGBT movement's founding event.
The G&LR was founded in 1994, which was the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. So this year both Stonewall and The G&LR are celebrating important birthdays. In Search of Stonewall commemorates both anniversaries with a collection of our best articles on the early struggle for equality. The full title is:
