| June, 2012 | Each June is Gay Pride Month by proclamation of the President of the United States. It commemorates the June 27, 2022 uprising at New York City’s Stonewall Inn when gay and transgendered patrons resisted a police “fund raiser” to avoid arrest and exposure. They protested the pattern of harsh treatment and discrimination which had occurred throughout the 1950’s and 60’s and declared once and for all that enough was enough. The events of that night have been compared by some to Rosa Parks’ refusal to move to the back of the bus. The Stonewall Inn was never raided again because the patrons took pride in whom and what they were. |
