The Night That Changed Everything
In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a routine police raid on a Greenwich Village gay bar ignited a firestorm that would transform American society forever. The Stonewall Riots marked the explosive collision between decades of oppression and the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s, creating the spark that launched the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Despite being referenced by figures from Barack Obama to Lady Gaga (who named her equality foundation after it), the full story - with its complex web of perspectives from drag queens, homeless youth, lesbians, gay men, and even the Mafia - remains surprisingly little-known. What made this particular raid different? Why did a community that had endured decades of harassment suddenly fight back? And how did a few nights of resistance in a small New York neighborhood launch a global movement that continues to reshape our understanding of human rights and dignity?
