JUNE
Fifty years ago, on June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, sparked a week of rioting and protests. Gay men and women were at last fighting for their civil rights, and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) history would never be the same again. This month, as NYC Pride welcomes WorldPride in a monthlong commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising, the city flies the rainbow flag. 2019-worldpride-stonewall50.nycpride.org
