It wasn’t new for the LGBTQ members to be harassed by cops but many of them stood up against the mistreatment that day.
The cops arrested at least 13 people at the Stonewall Inn that day. They reportedly began roughing the venue’s patrons in the process. It all started with an unlikely incident that occurred at New York City’s Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969.Ĭops raided the club in New York City on the pretext of arresting those selling liquor without a license.
