... in a city far away.

1:20 am EDT, June 28, 1969

The NYC police raid an obscure bar in Greenwich Village. Things start out as usual as they start harassing the "queers" in the Stonewall Inn.

But then things start going awry. They aren't co-operating. And as they slowly release the ones they aren't going to charge, instead of dispersing, they gather with others on the streets outside.

At last a flash point is reached. The Stonewall Riots have begun. And things will never be the same again
