Tonight (tues June 27th) at 1:30 am marks the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots -- a time when the gay community said enough is enough and stood up to the police and fought back for their rights during a routine police raid at the drag bar, The Stonewall Inn, which is considered the riot that sparked the gay revolution.
