The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community that took place in June 1969 at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City's Greenwich Village. The riots were sparked by a police raid on the bar, which was a common occurrence at the time, but this particular event led to a violent confrontation between patrons and law enforcement. The unrest lasted several days and is widely considered a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ+ rights movement, inspiring activism and advocacy for gay rights both in the U.S. and around the world. The anniversary of the riots is now celebrated as Pride Month.
