At the Stonewall



On this date in nineteen hundred and sixty-nine

An incident happened at a certain place and time

When police in New York City invaded a gay bar

Intending to create havoc, and in order to mar ...



Certain freedoms people have to congregate ...

To establish relationships and to secure mates

Something everyone has the right to do ... as long

As they don't hurt others, as they create those bonds
