12. The movie about him is one of my favorite movies.

I love stories about unsung true American heroes.

I had my daughter watch the movie when she was a teen.

She got really confused when the cops would go into a gay bar and arrest all the men there.

She asked what was going on, were the men committing crimes there that we didn't see?

I had to explain it was against the law back then to be gay.
She was shocked and didn't believe me.

She looked it up online and couldn't believe it.
