Stonewall Rebellion Memorial Day 28 of June

Stonewall Riot Memorial Day - June 28, 1969

On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Riot started in New York, after police raided another gay bar called the Stonewall Inn. This time, the patrons spoke out - and the protests that followed marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ+ movement. Every year on June 28, the day is commemorated as a symbol of pride, resistance and the fight for everyone's right to live openly and freely.
