June 28: Stonewall Riots Begin (1969)

The Stonewall Riots began on June 28, 1969, in New York City, marking a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Sparked by a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a prominent gay bar in Greenwich Village, the riots were a response to ongoing police harassment and discrimination. This defiance against systemic mistreatment galvanized the LGBTQ+ community, initiating a wave of activism that profoundly impacted the struggle for equality and civil liberties.

The aftermath of the Stonewall Riots saw the formation of advocacy groups like the Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Activists Alliance, which played critical roles in pushing for legal reforms and social acceptance. These events drew significant attention to the LGBTQ+ community's fight for justice, highlighting the need for broader societal change.

Stonewall's legacy intersects with conservative debates on individual rights and social order, emphasizing the necessity of protecting personal freedoms while challenging traditional norms to achieve equality.
