On a summer night in 1969, police raided th Stonewall Inn, a bar i York City that served haven for the city’s g lesbian, and transgend community. Back then, homosexual acts were illegal in every state USA except Illinois, and bars and restaurants could get shut down for having gay employees or serving gay patrons. Most gay bars in New York at the time (includi the Stonewall) were operated by the Mafia, who paid corruptible police officers to look the other way and blackmailed wealthy gay patrons by threatening to “out” them. Police raids on gay bars were common, but on that particular night, members of the city’s LGBTQIA+ community decided to fight back, sparking an uprising t would launch a new era of resistance and revolution. Though the gay rights movement didn’t begin at Stonewal the uprising did mark a turning point, as earlier “homo organizations like the Mattachine Society gave way to m radical groups like the Gay Liberation Front and the Ga Activists Alliance.
