Never Forget
Jun. 28th, 2009 02:51 amForty years ago the police in NYC decided to do yet another raid on a bar frequented by weirdos and sickos. At least that was their opinion and that of much of "normal" society.
The patrons of the bar, mostly drag queens, and gays, decided that they'd had enough of it. And a riot broke out.
Over the next week several more riots broke out. National news didn't make much of it.... then.
Now? Every June cities all over the world hold Gay Pride celebrations because of those queens and faggots at the Stonewall Inn.
