,christopher ,street in the ,greenwich  
,village neighborhood of ,new ,york     
,city1 ,new ,york2 ,whereas the         
,stonewall ,inn was a bar primarily     
patronized by a diverse cross-section of
 the lesbian1 gay1 bisexual1 and        
transgender community and it became a   
very popular institution2 ,whereas at   
around #a3bj a4m4 on ,june #bh1 #aifi1  
police raided the ,stonewall ,inn1      
closing the bar and forcing patrons     
outside2 ,whereas such raids were among 
the many ways in which government       
harassed and discriminated against      
members of the lesbian1 gay1 bisexual1  

and transgender community during this   
period1 which included1 for example1    
prohibiting dancing with a person of the
 same sex or wearing clothing more      
typical for another gender1 terminating 
one's employment1 and using entrapment  
to arrest people2 ,whereas early on the 
morning of ,june #bh1 #aifi1 after the  
raid1 years of frustration and anger    
among members of the lesbian1 gay1      
bisexual1 and transgender community at

government boiled over into a conflict  
with police2 ,whereas thousands returned
 to the ,stonewall ,inn on the night of 
,june #bh1 #aifi1 to express their      
support of basic freedoms1 equality1 and
 fair treatment for lesbian1 gay1       
bisexual1 and transgender ,americans1   
chanting such slogans as 8,gay ,power01 
8,we ,want ,freedom ,now01 and          
8,equality ,for ,homosexuals02 ,whereas

,stonewall ,inn on the night of ,july   
#b1 #aifi2 ,whereas the series of       

protests at the ,stonewall ,inn1 often  
referred to as 8,stonewall01 marked a   
watershed event in which lesbian1 gay1  
bisexual1 and transgender ,americans    
dramatically showed a growing           
determination to publicly resist        
government discrimination and           
harassment2 ,whereas ,stonewall sparked 
a remarkable increase in activism and   
action by lesbian1 gay1 bisexual1 and   
transgender ,americans across the       
country to advocate for equal rights2   
,whereas1 on ,june #bh1 #aigj1 thousands

 at #ea-ec ,christopher ,street that    
used to be the ,stonewall ,inn1

,national ,historic ,landmark2 ,whereas 
inspired by ,stonewall1 lesbian1 gay1   
bisexual1 and transgender pride parades 
and festivals occur in cities across the
 country and the world every ,june2     
,whereas in recognition of ,stonewall1  
,lesbian1 ,gay1 ,bisexual1 and
