Note; this is not a UK subject; exceptionally we've included an article about it here because of its importance in gay history, and the number of gay-related institutions that have been named after it.
The Stonewall Riots took place at the Stonewall Inn in Christopher Street, New York, on 28 June 1969 when the local gay community fought back against police repression. This event is commemorated in the many organisations with "Stonewall" in their names.
