Stonewall

1969 Stonewall Riots - Origins, Timeline & Leaders


    Stonewall helped shape the Gay Rights Movement because during this time there was a lot of hate directed towards the LGBT and gay people had safe spaces in Gay bars/clubs where they could be themselves.  A lot of things during this time dehumanized gay people and made them feel like they weren't human at all.


    If the police never raided the Stonewall Inn, how would gay rights or the movement look now with there being many different identities.  The event made people protest but in many other countries they're still protesting but it usually ends in executions in certain countries.
