I recently discovered that today was the 41st anniversary of the Stonewall Riot.
The Stonewall is/was a bar in NYC and they were serving to openly gay, lesbian, bisexual people and apparently that was against the law.
So the police were like, "Boo! Don't do that! That's not right!" Only this was in raid form.
The gay community didn't take this well, so in the early hours of June 27, 1969, they fought back.
It was The Night That Changed The World.
It was the start of the fight for gay rights.
WHOO!
GAY PRIDE
