The gay movement started in New York City, in the village. Militant gay activism can be dated to the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, when the Stonewall Inn , a gay bar in  Greenwich Village, was raided by the police. Nearly 400 people joined a riot that lasted 45 minutes and resumed on succeeding nights. It is often said, an urban legend if you will, that gays were mourning the death of Judy Garland that week and were sick and tired of being harassed by the police and decided to fight back! Whatever the reason, gay rights organizations proliferated in the United States in the succeeding years.
