#PeoplesHistory | As Pride month comes to a close, this is your reminder that Stonewall was a working-class riot against all forms of oppression.
Today, we remember the members of the LGBTQ+ community who fought against police repression in the 6-day #StonewallRebellion, which began in the early hours of this day in 1969.
At the time, the New York police had a policy of closing gay bars and on June 28, 1969 it raided the Stonewall Inn which was considered a "refuge" for mainly working-class and poor members of the LGBTQ+ community.
However, the community started resisting arrests and fighting back against invasive body searches. The LGBTQ+ community, including many Black people and Latinx alongside working-class people, physically fought the police, triggering the uprising that lasted for six days.

The Stonewall Uprising sparked and catalyzed the gay rights movement in the US and around the world. After the Stonewall events, radical members of the LGBTQ+ community formed the Gay Liberation Front, which was revolutionary for the movement.
The Gay Liberation Front organized anniversary protests in several US cities, becoming the annual Pride celebration that we know to this day worldwide.
