 Stonewall Riots

● The Stonewall Revolt was a series of spontaneous and

violent protests over a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a
bar in the Greenwich Village district of New York, on June
28, 1969.

● The Stonewall Riots were follow by a lot of days of protests

in New York, which led to the founding of the Gay
Liberation Front and other gay, lesbian, and bisexual civil
rights organizations. Many consider it to be the first
significant protest in history in support of equal rights for
gays.

● The riots are largely regarded as a historic moment in the

gay liberation movement and the fight for LGBT rights in
the United States in the twentieth century.
Black cat movement
● Activists demanded that the LAPD stop harassment,
stop illegal searches, and respect gay, lesbian, and
bisexual people's basic rights and dignity.

● The Black Cat was a regular hangout for the queer

community of Silver Lake despite the dangers
surrounding LGBTQ spaces at the time.

● The Black Cat grew popular as a destination for queer

Angelenos looking for a safe space to gather.

● The Stonewall Riots in New York were two and a half

years before the protest at The Black Cat in 1967.
