NEWSWEEK: How Stonewall was reported in Newsweek in 1969:
It began on a balmy June evening with a police raid on one of Greenwich Village's homosexual bars.

As the police evicted patrons, hundreds of angry young men gathered outside and began hurling stones, coins, garbage and obscenities. “Give me a G!" shouted a youth in caramel hip huggers and leather halter. “Give me an A! Give me a Y! Give me a P! Give me an O! … What does it spell?” The answer came in a falsetto chorus. “Gay power! Gay power! Gay, gay power to the gay, gay people!”
