    The Stonewall inn.

    The Stonewall Riots, also known as the first pride parade were a 6 day long protest started by transgender women of color in New York after a police raid on the Stonewall Inn and was one of the major catalysts for the LGBT+ rights movement.

    After a police raid on the Stonewall Inn on June 28th 1969, a Stonewall uprising began where they protested outside for almost a week. The bar patrons would protest outside the bar and in nearby parks and streets, throwing bricks, pennies, bottles and other objects at police officers.

    Life after Stonewall

    On the one year anniversary of the Stonewall riots the first ever peaceful pride parade was held in New York streets. The protest was the start of a new era of awareness for the LGBT+ community, and since then pride and the gay rights movement has been going strong.
