The birthplace of the Gay Rights movement in the United States can be traced back to New York City in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969. On that day, the NYPD raided a bar in Greenwich Village called the Stonewall Inn.  The Stonewall Inn was considered a refuge for many gays, lesbians and others who were not yet “out”. In the 1960’s homosexuality was considered illegal.  The police would often harass and arrest individuals for homosexual conduct, and they would raid bars that catered to gay and lesbian individuals.

The police were also corrupt.  Many bars and business that conducted illegal activity would “pay off” the police in order to continue operating.  If they failed to make their payment, the police would raid the establishment and arrest the patrons.  On June 28, 1969, the owners of the Stonewall Inn, Mafia members themselves, failed to make their payment and they were raided by the NYPD. In a spontaneous demonstration of defiance, the patrons began rioting against the police.  The Stonewall Uprising lasted for six days, thus giving rise to the Gay Rights movement in the United States.

Over the decades that would follow, police departments have recognized the importance of diversity and inclusion in their organizations.  Many efforts are conducted to recruit more women, minorities and members of the LGBTQ communities.  In 2017, the NYPD demonstrated its ongoing outreach to the LGBTQ community by sponsoring a police car in the Pride Parade painted in the rainbow colors.
