Today is the start of Pride month. 51 years ago the Stonewall Riots, also called the Stonewall Uprising, began in the early hours of June 28th, 1969. When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located in Greenwich Village in New York City, it was the breaking point after years of raids, harassment, and violence by the police towards queer people. The raid sparked days of riots, led by trans women of color, after police violently hauled employees and patrons out of the bar. The Stonewall Riots served as a catalyst for the LGBTQ rights movement in the United States and around the world. Today, we honor and remember what our predecessors fought for as we continue our fight for Black Lives and Queer Rights. We are one.
