Fifty-five years ago today, a movement was born. In the early hours of June 28, 1969, New York City, US, Police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village. At the time, homosexuality was illegal, and raids against LGBTQIA+ establishments were common. However, on that night, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn, fed up with the continued harassment, decided to stand their ground. Violence escalated, leading to clashes between protesters and police. In the following days, there was more rioting as people gathered to protest the raids.
