The Stonewall Riots or How the Mafia Created Gay Pride Parades


Listen Later

FUN FACT: I once barfed on the rainbow sidewalks in seattle but not on purpose I had just eatten to much shrimp too fast. 

ANOTHER FUN FACT: The Stonewall Inn was a  terrible bar without working toilets that use to blackmail it's customers and after the riots the gay community boycotted it.  The riots were mostly caused by gay anger over mafia control of gay bars and police corruption.    

ONE MORE FUN FACT: The reason I had eatten so much shrimp so fast was I just did a comedy show and my payment was all the leftover shrimp. 



Where was the Stonewall Inn?  What happened at Stonewall?  Is the Stonewall Inn still open?  When did Stonewall Happen? Are pride parades happening this year?
