The historic gay bar was the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots, where LGBT people stood up against police harassment and sparked the birth of the gay rights movement.
The Stonewall Inn in New York City is the home of one of the most important events in the history of the campaign for LGBT rights – the riots of 1969. The Inn calls itself the "birthplace of the modern gay rights movement."

People have flocked to the Inn during historic moments – like when New York state legalized same-sex marriage in 2011 or when the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013.
