A policy of harassment of homosexuals resulted in Stonewal riots at the Stonewall Inn in June 1969.
A spontaneous show of resistance emerged when the homosexual clientele were being taken to the police wagon, and the police were forced to retreat and called for reinforcements.
This resistance at the Stonewall Inn has been given symbolic value and is seen as the birth of the modern gay rights movement, the emergence of the Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Activist Alliance.
The 1969 Stonewall riot in New York City is widely celebrated as the beginning of the modern gay rights movement. Examines three traditional organizational theories on social action movements and applies Aldon Morris's analytical framework for understanding collective social action to the emergence of the modern U.S. gay civil rights movement. Social workers need to understand how to gain access to and support indigenous social structures to assist oppressed groups to bring about social change. - Sociopolitical antecedents to Stonewall: analysis of the origins of the gay rights movement in the United States.

Movements and Memory: The Making of the Stonewall
Myth
Armstrong, Elizabeth A.; Crage, Suzanna M.
Abstract: This article examines why the Stonewall riots became central to gay collective
memory while other events did not. It does so through a comparative-historical analysis of
Stonewall and four events similar to it that occurred in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and
New York in the 1960s. The Stonewall riots were remembered because they were the first to
meet two conditions: activists considered the event commemorable and had the mnemonic
capacity to create a commemorative vehicle. The success of the national commemorative
ritual planned by New York activists depended on its resonance, not only in New York but
also in other U.S. cities. Gay community members found Stonewall commemorable and the
proposed parade an appealing form for commemoration. The parade was amenable to
institutionalization, leading it to survive over time and spread around the world. The
Stonewall story is thus an achievement of gay liberation rather than an account of its
origins. - ingentaconnect.com
