Charlie Rose ep from '94 focused on gay rights

"First, a discussion about the enduring impact of the Stonewall riots of 1969, a series of violent conflicts between New York City police officers and groups of gay and transgendered people. Panelists include Martin Duberman, author of "Stonewall", riot participant Jim Fouratt, and Barbara Smith, co-founder and publisher of "Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press" and editor of "Home Girls". Then, a conversation about the differing viewpoints of the modern gay rights movement with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner, Andrew Sullivan, editor of "The New Republic" magazine, Bruce Bawer, author of "A Place at the Table", and "Village Voice" writer and lesbian activist Donna Minkowitz. Finally, actor Sir Ian McKellen talks about his involvement in gay rights activism and his one man show "A Knight Out", benefitting the Gay Games Cultural Festival in New York City."

I love what Donna Minkowitz said about "overturning the table".

Also, doesn't Martin Duberman look a helluva lot like Terence Stamp?
