On June 28, 1969, four plainclothes policemen raided Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. Most of the people inside were members of the LGBTQ community and, while no strangers to police raids, on this night, they had had enough and they fought back. The “gay rights” movement was born that night in the “Stonewall Inn Riots.”
June has become LGBTQ pride month in commemoration of those riots, and there are numerous events being held to recognize the impact members of the LGBTQ community have had on the world.
Throughout the month of June the team at Salt Lake City-based app company Made is helping the LGBTQ+ community — and its allies — celebrate Pride month with an exclusive set of Instagram story templates.
