Here's the beginning of a post I wrote for the Orton Family Foundation's blog, "Cornerstones." Click here to visit their blog and read the whole post, which is about the stories that social movements tell to and about themselves.
Like other gay bars of the 1950s and 1960s, the Stonewall Inn in New
York City was subject to regular police raids. Mostly, patrons were so
afraid of being exposed and losing their jobs, livelihoods, families and
reputations that they suffered silently through the raids. But that
would only go so far.
Denizens of the Stonewall included lesbians, gay men and
transgendered people, some of whom had little to lose, and for whatever
reason they had reached a breaking point. When the police raided the bar
on June 28, 1969, patrons fought back. The riots
that took place marked a confrontational new tack in the fight for LGBT
rights. And in the years since, annual marches—now known as Pride
Parades—have taken place the last weekend of June in cities around the
world.
