1969 Stonewall
Inn Riots
Referred to as the ‘pin drop heard round the world,’ the 1969
riots at the Stonewall Inn in New York sparked a monumental
and unforgettable global movement.
In 1969, being gay was a crime, and serving gay peo-
ple could also land you in jail or, at the very least, with closures
and a fine. But that didn’t stop people from building their own
safe spaces. Gay bars had become a place of refuge - a sanctu-
ary for gays, lesbians, and anyone else who found themselves
on the sexually suspect spectrum. These bars were well-known
amongst the queer community as a place to safely escape the
daily harassment of society and where they could be their au-
thentic selves. However, word would eventually spread about
the nature of these particular bars or clubs, and law enforcement
nearly always found a way to crash the party.
The Stonewall Inn and other gay-friendly bars fre-
quently suffered raids by law enforcement who sought to dis-
rupt the scene and arrest any suspicious individuals engaged in
homosexual activity. On June 28, 1969, the final attack by law
enforcement in a series of recent raids erupted into an event that
would soon be known as the famous Stonewall riots. During
this raid, police escorted people from the building into a police
van, but the crowd didn’t disperse as usual. Angry, frustrated,
and exhausted from the ongoing harassment, the queer patrons
of Stonewall began jeering, throwing bottles and debris at the
police officers. The queer community had finally had enough.
Law enforcement quickly lost control of the situation, and the
protesters rioted well into the early morning.
Rioting continued over the following days as the pro-
testers grew to an astonishing size of roughly 400 individuals.
Members of the local queer community heard about the on-
going struggle and aided the patrons at Stonewall in facing off
with the local police. It was the first time that gays, lesbians,
drag queens, and trans people united behind a common cause
to fight injustice.
A year later, on the first anniversary of the riots, the
first gay pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, and Chicago. In the years that followed, gay
rights groups erupted in almost every major city in the U.S.
to advocate openly for equal rights. Pride has now become a
celebration in recognition of how far the community has come
since those stark, oppressive days, and those trailblazers who
paved the way.
