The Gay, Lesbian, and Feminist Backlash

source: http://www.transhistory.org/history/index.html

The modern era of the gay & lesbian rights movement is usually marked as starting on
a hot July evening at the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village. The
New York police, as many city police departments across the United States did, made
period raids on sexual minority bars to harass and arrest the patrons. On this particular
night, transgendered woman, Sylvia Rivera, resisted arrest, touching off a riot that
continued for three nights running.
