REMEMBER THE PAST – CELEBRATE THE FUTURE / 1969-1994 STONEWALL 25
Date
1994
Description
The Stonewall Rebellion was a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations protesting a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, on June 28, 1969. The patrons of the bar – largely trans women of color and homeless youth – reacted against pervasive harassment by the police, and in so doing launched the modern LGBTQ rights movement. The first march (that would eventually become known as a Pride march) took place the following June in New York City, and today Pride is celebrated each June all over the world. This button was distributed as part of the annual Pride celebration in Boston in 1994.
