Though its changed ownership over the years, the Stonewall Inn has stood as a symbol of the gay rights movement for 50 years.

Completely inappropriate. Maybe NYC can celebrate their draft riots against fighting the Civil War as well...

On the last Sunday in June, people from around the world will flood Manhattan to sing some songs, wave some flags, and shed light on the important issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community.

And parents grieve when their children dishonor them in the month of Father’s Day. Repent! Don’t commit suicide, or something equally rebellious and stupid. Just repent. The Creator has mercy and grace. He doesn’t have error.

De Blasio married a woman who at one time identified as “lesbian”. What’s up with that? Did she change? Lady Gaga said she was “born that way”, so how could she marry a man????

How many times must this bar be ‘celebrated’?
Are they trying to make a “Graceland” tourist spot out of it?

It was raided because the Mob owned it.

Im in my 60s and I never heard of Stonewall until Obamas second term. Is it just me or did they manufacture this as some sort of significant turning point in homosexual history?

The political and debating opponent of conservative William F. Buckley, Writer, Gore Vidal was openly gay. However Vidal thought all men and women are potentially bisexual.
According to him, all you have to to is find the right situation to “trigger” those “switches”.
In the September 1969 edition of Esquire, for example, Vidal wrote:
“We are all bisexual to begin with. That is a fact of our condition. And we are all responsive to sexual stimuli from our own as well as from the opposite sex. Certain societies at certain times, usually in the interest of maintaining the baby supply, have discouraged homosexuality. Other societies, particularly militaristic ones, have exalted it. But regardless of tribal taboos, homosexuality is a constant fact of the human condition and it is not a sickness, not a sin, not a crime ... despite the best efforts of our puritan tribe to make it all three. Homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality. Notice I use the word ‘natural,’ not normal.”

The mob used to pay off the NYPD to look the other way but sometimes around election cycles the police would conduct show raids to make politicians look good. The raids were on slow nights when business would not be affected too much.
Legend has it that someone missed a payment or the police got the date wrong and raided the Stonewall on a very busy night and thats what kicked off the riots.

How many of the stonewall alumni have died of AIDS, drug addiction, alcoholism or suicide?

You know that it’s false history because even other countries are celebrating it.
