New ABC Documentary Series:1969

Why the fuck are Laverne Cox and Jazz Jennings in this?

I was intrigued until I saw them and some of the other talking heads.

Nope.

Will the death of Judy Garland be covered in detail?

That was the year my dad died. Think I will pass. ☹️

Tonight will be about the woc who helped us get to the moon. Wasn't there a movie about that a couple years ago?

Been there, done that.

This brings me back to when I was a young whippersnapper. I was 14 years old then. Good year.

Chappaquiddick. Or we would have had a radically different Presidential history.

Noticed no one was interested, so I didn't watch it either.

And if they all jumped off the roof would you do that too?

1968 was more transformative. I guess it was more important to pick the year of the moon landing rather than take everything else into account.

Seriously?

The previews looked awful.

Pass.

The Manson Murders.

I saw the Apollo 11 episode tonight and thought it was excellent.

R13, I am chagrined at not remembering that one.

And I'll add: Altamont. 12/06/69.

R10, You are arguably correct about 1968: MLK; RFK; Democratic Convention and the Chicago 8; protests about Vietnam; 1968 Mexico City Olympics; the Tet Offensive;....

R1, when I saw Laverne Cox in the previews I knew they were going to transwash Stonewall. I'll withhold my opinion until I see the episode but interviewing Laverne and Jazz does not bode well for a true re-telling of Stonewall.

As for tonight's ep, I agree with R14. It was interesting the way they included old recordings of NASA techs gossiping about Ted Kennedy's dip in the lake.

r15, thank you for agreeing with my indisputably true statement.

Woodstock!

Transwall veterans Laverne Cox and Jazz Jennings *rolls eyes*

I read that it was a trans WOC that threw the first punch at Altamont the previous year, clapping back against the Hells Angels.

Tonight's ep deals with Stonewall. Jazz Jennings and Laverne Cox are featured so I suppose we won't get the women's perspective on this episode...

R20 here, they were featured in the promo at the beginning of the ep but it looks like it's about Woodstock tonight.

Is the documentary about a year or a sex position?

Three songs seemed to be on the radio all the time that year -

Aquarius (The Fifth Dimension)

Sugar, Sugar (The Archies)

Dizzy (dont' remember the artist)

They're doing LGBT now.

When did drag queens become Trans?

Laverne is now saying the drag queens were Trans but they were afraid to say they were trans.

Jazz Jennings saying Tran WOC were the most marginalized in the LGB community and they "stood up the most." Gay erasure happening right now on network television in living color.

I give up

Trans WOC are the only ones to have done anything in history, god bless them.

fuck these cunts

I had no idea this show had already aired.

Oopsie.

Were there any actual gay men or lesbians interviewed for this?

This transwashing of history absolutely fucking pisses me off.

It's on now until 11:00 EST.

Were there any trans on the moon landing?

Someone drew a wig on Neil Armstrong's space helmet, R33. An artist's rendering because Trans (esp. WOC) were at the forefront of space technology but the meanie gays altered history and took credit for the moon landing.

Tonight Stonewall/Woodstock. It’s a pretty good series. One or two episodes left of the six.

[quote]fuck these Frankencunts.

Fixed it.
