• Stonewall Inn Uprising: Birth of the Modern LGBTQ+ Rights Movement On a sweltering summer night in New York City's Greenwich Village, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular underground gay bar. What began as a routine harassment of LGBTQ+ patrons quickly escalated into a pivotal moment of resistance.

Protesters challenged the pervasive criminalization and social stigmatization of LGBTQ+ individuals, sparking the modern gay rights movement and inspiring future Pride demonstrations worldwide.
