Stonewall Inn - A Guide to Lesbian & Gay New York Historical Landmarks (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

51-53 Christopher Street. The Stonewall Rebellion, the catalytic event in the development of the modern lesbian and gay rights movement, began on the street in front of the Stonewall Inn, a bar that originally encompassed both storefronts of this building. In the 1960s, police raids on gay bars were routine. But at 1am, on June 28, 1969, something unprecedented happened--gays and lesbians fought back! They forced the police to retreat into the bar and set off five days of rioting in nearby streets. The sense of pride and identity engendered by this rebellion gave life to the nascent Gay Liberation movement, and the anniversary of the rebellion is now celebrated internationally.
