Answer:

The third rail of a nation's politics is a metaphor for any issue so controversial that it is "charged" and "untouchable" to the extent that any politician or public official who dares to broach the subject will invariably suffer politically. The metaphor comes from the high-voltage third rail in some electric railway systems.

What was the significance of the Stonewall Inn riot as a source for the rights revolution of the late 1960s?
nlexa [21]
It’s become a symbol of LGBT+ rights. Before stonewall people who were part of the LGBT+ community could be arrested just for being who they were despite being LGBT+ not technically being illegal. Many LGBT+ people were on the receiving end of horrific and unjust police brutality, and often they would create secret clubs that were often disguised as other things, most popularly, “coffee houses”. A lot of the time, these LGBT+ clubs where people could be themselves safely, would be discovered and raided by the police and shut down. This harsh treat of the LGBT+ led to what we know as the stonewall riot where LGBT+ people gathered to protest these injustices and put an end to them and to get rights that would protect future generations of lgbt+ people from such cruelty. The riot which started peacefully and ended violently, was able to successfully gather enough support for LGBT+ rights to be implored and even though it still was not socially acceptable to be LGBT+, they at least weren’t getting arrested and beaten by the police and raided for who they were. Today the anniversary of the stonewall riot is celebrated as a symbol of how the LGBT+ community began to have rights and began to have their love and who they were recognized
