28 jun 1969 ano - Stonewall Inn Raid/Riots

Descrição:

In the early hours of the morning, police raided the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan, an inn run by the Mafia that harbored homosexuals. At the time, raiding places that harbored homosexuals was common practice, however this raid was special in that the homosexuals in the bar resisted arrest. Eventually, the situation culminated in a riot that drew in hordes of LGBT participants, even those that had no affiliation with the LGBT civil rights movement. The mob rioted for three days against police harassment and brutality. The Gay Liberation movement would spring up as a result of this incident. (Continuity: homosexuals fighting for rights under the law) (Effect of incident: creation of gay liberation organizations across the nation)
