New York Police raided The Stone Inn, a cub located in Greenwich Village in New York City.
New York State Alcohol Authorities penalized and shot down bars that serve alcohol to known or suspected LGTBQ+ individuals, by the argument that the mere gathering of homosexuals was disorderly. At the time solicitation of same sex relations was illegal in New York and many other places. Even though Gay Right Movement started in 1920s, in June 1969 there was an episode known as Stonewalls that became a flashpoint for the LGBTQ+ community.
