G.P.: Gays and lesbians across the country were mourning Judy Garland. But her death was not the actual cause of the riot. It was sparked by years of injustice and discrimination by New York police. Before June 28, 1969, the "fairies" were supposed to quietly subject to arrest or leave following a bar bust.
They had enough. So they fought back. And the rest, as they say, is history.
GAY POWER!!!!!
