The Stonewall Riots- How the gay rights movement began
- 4 years ago
Gay rights movement: 2019 marks the 50th anniversary since the Stonewall Riots would turn New York City's Greenwich Village into the birthplace of the pride revolution.
On June 28, 1969 a police raid on a queer-friendly tavern, and anti-LGBT sentiment in reports that followed the arrests, would result in three straight nights of protests, which grew into a global gay rights movement.

Nick Logan explores how the Stonewall Riots changed the lives of generations of LGBT people and what work is left to be done.
