Meanwhile, the NYPD has apologized for the first time for its raid a half-century ago on the Stonewall Inn, a gay- and trans-friendly bar in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. In June of 1969, the inn was the site of a violent police raid that triggered an uprising and helped launch the modern-day LGBTQ rights movement. On Thursday, NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill made the apology during a press briefing on public safety for Pride Month events.

Commissioner James O’Neill: “The actions taken by the NYPD were wrong—plain and simple. The actions and the laws were discriminatory and oppressive. And for that, I apologize.”
