THE STONEWALL INN: Site of the 1969 Stonewall Riots The Stonewall Inn, the historic Christopher Street landmark of gay liberation, is the birthplace of the famous "Stonewall Riots." During the last weekend of June of 1969, police and Alcoholic Beverage Control Board agents entered a gay bar--The Stonewall Inn, on Christopher Street, in New York City. Allegedly there to look for violations of
the alcohol control laws, they made homophobic comments and then, after checking identification, threw the patrons out of the bar, one by one. Instead of quietly leaving, as the patrons had done for years, hustlers, drag queens, students and other patrons held their ground and fought back. Someone uprooted a parking meter and used it to barricade the door. The agents and police were trapped inside and, thus, wrecked the place and called in reinforcements. NYPD vehicles raced to the scene with lights glaring and sirens blaring. The crowd grew. Someone set a fire. More people came. For three days, people protested. For the first time in American history, after innumerable years of oppression, the chant, Gay Power, rang out.
