GAY RIGHTS
 
 DEMONSTRATIONS
 
 July 4,1965-1969
 
 Annual public demonstra-
 
 tions for gay and
 
 lesbian equality were
 
 held at Independence
 
 Hall. These peaceful
 
 protests and New York's
 
 Stonewall riots in 1969
 
 & Pride Parade in 1970,
 
 transformed a small
 
 national campaign into a
 
 civil rights movement.
