They are when homosexual men run the bars.
That was what the Stonewall riots were about. The cops raided a bar for having minors in there drinking, and the homosexuals threw a hissy fit at having the kids taken away from them.
The Sonewall Veterans association is a homosexual activism group in the mold of ActUp specifically founded by Harry Hay to reunite the NAMBLA crowd with the rest of homosexual activism.
Whatever you say.
I thought it was because the bar was owned by the Mob and it was part of an operation going against the Mob, but the gays twisted it to make it look like they were going after them because it was a gay bar.
