Well, every eldergay on earth claims to have not only been there, but to have started the riot--even more people than claim to have seen the original Carrie musical.

But a documentary about "the Saint of Christopher Street," transsexual legend Marsha P. Johnson, has uncovered some interesting info.

[...]

"The story that Robin Souza told me, that Morty Manford told him, was that Marsha Johnson said: 'I got my civil rights!' and then Marsha threw a shot glass into a mirror. And that's what started all the riots.

"This was later know as the 'shot glass' heard round the world.
