Journalist Rex Wockner's commentary on the post-Prop 8 movement known as Stonewall 2.0 is worth a click. He discusses the chatter out in the blogosphere (he cites Peter Staley and Dan Savage) that the followup events to the November 15th demonstrations have shown that the grassroots organizing efforts are weak. Rex disagrees:
Stonewall 2.0 isn't fizzling...
That's because Stonewall 2.0 already happened. Stonewall itself lasted three nights in 1969, but it set the stage for much that came after it. Stonewall 2.0 lasted, at minimum, 11 days -- and, I suggest, set the stage for much that will come after it.
