Stonewall Inn was the site of the famous Stonewall riots of 1969, which have come to symbolize the beginning of the militant gay liberation movement in the United States. It is located at 53 Christopher Street, between West 4th St. and Waverly Place, in Greenwich Village, New York City. Stonewall is regarded as the single most important event that led to the modern movement for gay and lesbian civil rights.[1]

"Militant?" Thats not quite the word I would use for the 'gay liberation movement in the United States.' But interesting article. That word just caught my eye...

I'd never heard of Stonewall. What I really liked was how the first pride parades were held on the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Really puts them into perspective.
