In morning of June 28, 1969, lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender persons rioted following a police raid on the Stonewall Inn,
a gay bar at 43 Christopher Street, New York City. This riot and
further protests and rioting over the following nights were the
watershed moment in modern LGBT rights movement and the impetus for
organizing LGBT pride marches on a much larger public scale.
