Best Answer

The name of the gay bar that started the Gay Revolution in 1969, was called "Stone Wall."

New York Police charged in, and began arresting people for being gay. The gay individuals fought back, and the revolution was on.

Some believe that the death of Judy Garland, which happened on the same day, had something to do with it as well.

For Judy Garland had a big gay following of fans, and was very supportive of them as well.
