The happening of which we speak, took place in a bar (the "Stonewll Inn.") For homosexual Greenwich Village, a bohemian district of New York. One night in June 1969 in an operation that seemed routine, police raided the Stonewall, because it was not licensed to sell alcohol and by that time attracted a large clientele of young, loud and transvestites. What might have gone unnoticed, that night resulted in an unprecedented backlash. Instead of dispersing, the regulars responded with anger. The riot lasted several days and caused the event came to light, the cause of "gay liberation". The environmental activists for this cause, in turn influenced by the movements of black power and liberation of women, took strength and took places on public opinion at the time.
