[edit] Stonewall riots/Gay Pride Day June 28, not 27

Pinpointing the exact date of the Stonewall riots can be difficult as the events took place over several days, in fact over the better part of a week. However, it seems to be generally accepted that the initial police raid on the Stonewall Inn, which spurred the riots, took place somewhere between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. on Saturday, June 28, 1969.

This was, of course, "Friday night", but still June 28. Furthermore, the protest continued on Saturday, June 28, with people returning to the site on Christopher Street, demonstrating and for the first time celebrating the events of the previous night, where the LGBT community had stood up to oppression and faught back. Also, the first "Christopher Street Liberation Day" (or today Gay Pride Day) march/parade took place exactly one year later, one Sunday, June 28, 1970, the 1st anniversary of the riots.

In NYC, Gay Pride Day is celebrated every year on the last Sunday in June. (The week leading up to that day is Gay Pride Week; June is Gay Pride Month.) However, if a date is to be associated with the Stonewall riots, that date should be June 28.

[edit] Tobey Maguire

He had two entries under the "Births" category, one in 1975 and one in 1991. I deleted the 1991 one. He was born on June 27, 1975, not 1991! That would make him only 15 years old! lol

[edit] St. Ferdinand of Aragon?

This liturgical feast looks suspect. Surely some Catholic website would have something on the guy (almost all of Google's eight hits look like Wikipedia mirrors, or are empty, and the one exception, from Italy, says his feast is in July...) --Haruo 06:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
