So says one of the interviewees in Stonewall Uprising, an acclaimed new documentary about the Greenwich Village riots and their empowering effect on the gay rights movement. The film, which one critic has called an "essential new history," gets its local premiere tonight as part of the month-long St. Pete Pride celebration. Thurs., June 17, 7-10 p.m., L Train (formerly Pink Pelicans), 900 Central Ave., Suite 25B, St. Petersburg, $20 per person or $35 per couple; includes light appetizers and a cash bar, stpetepride.com. —David Warner
