In 1969, police raids of gay bars in Manhattan followed a template. Officers would pour in, threatening and beating bar staff an

d clientele. Patrons would pour out, lining up on the street so police could arrest them.
But when police raided the Stonewall Inn in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, things didn’t go as expected. Patrons and onlookers fought back—and the days-long melee that ensued, characterized then as a riot and now known as the Stonewall Rebellion, helped spark the modern LGBTQ civil rights movement.

Each June, Pride Month honors the history of Stonewall with parades and events. This year is the fifth anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on June 26, 2015, guaranteeing same-sex couples the right to marry.

Before these gains, however, LGBTQ people had long been subject to social sanction and legal harassment for their sexual orientation, which had been criminalized on the pretexts of religion and morality. By the 1960s, homosexuality was clinically classified as a mental disorder, and most municipalities in the United States had discriminatory laws that forbade same-sex relationships and denied basic rights to anyone suspected of being gay. Altough some gay rights groups had begun to protest this treatment publicly, many LGBTQ people led their lives in secret.

Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Quartering Act The acts listed above contributed to the start of the Revolutionary War by <em>ignoring </em>colonist who believed their civil liberties.

<h3>What is the American revolutionary war?</h3>

Tensions between citizens of Great Britain's 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which served as the representative of the British crown, grew over time, leading to the Revolutionary War (1775–83), also known as the American Revolution.

Beginning with skirmishes between British troops and colonial militiamen in Lexington and Concord in April 1775, the insurgents were waging a full-scale war for their independence by the following summer.

In 1778, France joined the American Revolution on the side of the colonists, effectively turning a domestic conflict into a global one.

Though fighting wouldn't officially end until 1783, the Americans had effectively won their independence after French assistance helped the Continental Army force the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781.
