New York's police commissioner apologized on Thursday for the raid on
the Stonewall Inn gay bar 50 years ago that gave rise to the modern LGBT
rights movement, describing the incident as "harassment" that was
"wrong, plain and simple."Patrons of the bar fought back against the
raid on June 28, 1969, leading to unprecedented demonstrations for the
rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the
streets of Greenwich Village outside the Stonewall.
