Before Stonewall

The origins of the modern gay rights movement can be traced back to the period before the Stonewall riots, which marked a pivotal moment in the history of the Gay and Lesbian community.

The Stonewall Inn in New York City is considered the birthplace of gay and lesbian liberation, where drag queens bravely fought back against police harassment on June 27-28, 1969.
