Before the 1960s, almost everything about living authentically as a lesbian, a bisexual person or a gay man was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.
Located in Greenwich Village, New York City, Stonewall National Monument is one of the many parks in New York Harbor.
