	Stonewall riots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stonewall riots were a series of violent conflicts between homosexuals and police officers in New York City.
		"Stonewall," as the raids are often referred to, is generally considered a turning point for the modern gay rights movement worldwide, as it is one of the first times in history a significant body of homosexual people resisted arrest.
		Many of the Stonewall patrons were still emotionally distraught when the raid occurred that night, and refused to react passively.
