Stonewall: Breaking out in the Fight for Gay Rights. Penguin Young Readers
Group, 2015. This source is a book. The source was used to show that out homosexuals
were considered mentally ill and treated badly by society. They would go to places like
the Stonewall Inn because they could be themselves. The Inn itself was dingy and not

treated badly and could find haven in bars that were usually unkempt.
