Today we acknowledge the Stonewall Riots/ Uprising of 1969 when
New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club
located in Greenwich Village in New York City. The raid sparked
a riot among bar patrons and neighborhood residents as police
roughly hauled employees and patrons out of the bar, leading to
six days of protests and violent clashes. The Stonewall Riots
served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United
States and around the world. ❤️✊ 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
