Raid

The Stonewall raid and riots started our movement.

41 years later, illegal raids and arrests of LGBT people continue.

In September 2009, the Atlanta Police Department sent dozens of officers to the Atlanta Eagle bar dressed in SWAT team gear. During the raid, patrons of the bar were called antigay slurs and were forced to lie in spilled beer and broken glass. No patrons were charged with any crime. Lambda Legal and cocounsel filed a lawsuit.
