Located on Christopher Street in New York was the Stonewall Inn, a shady bar frequented by drag queens and outcasts. It was known as a place of perdition that society railed and warned you of. The area became the birthplace of the Stonewall Uprising, one of the most significant social turning points of 1969. As stated in the New York Sunday News: "Raid on the gay nest. The queen bees, however, reacted". Before the uprising on Christopher Street you were never out of the closet. Now you can't and you don't want to hide anymore.
