Tusinski: Police presence at Pride disrespects the celebration

Dylan Tusinski June 24, 2021
The first Pride was a riot. It's become something of a woke cliché to say, but it's true. In 1969, the New York Police Department raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in New York City. The patrons of the bar fought back, tossing bottles at officers and forcing them to retreat and stop the raid. It was a turning point and the first widely publicized act of queer resistance to police brutality, helping ignite the LGBTQ+ movement as a whole.
