STONEWALL 2069, Samuel Douek, UK 2020 5 min. 8 sec.



In 1969, a police raid of a New York gay bar led to three days of riots known as the Stonewall Uprising, sparking the queer liberation movement.

Fifty years on, we celebrate same-sex marriage and discuss the importance of gender-neutral toilets. But while 70 countries still criminalise homosexuality, what will the next 50 years of queer liberation look like – and importantly, what technologies could we hack, appropriate and queer in our ongoing fight for equal rights?
