Gay Travel: Gay and Lesbian Couples Flocking to New York State for Weddings, Honeymoons |
|
|
|
 New York has a history of breakthroughs. In 1966, the Mattachine Society staged a "sip-in" at Julius Bar in Greenwich Village, challenging a law that prohibited the serving of alcohol to gay men; we won, and the bar is still serving.
A year later, Oscar Wilde Bookshop, the world's first homosexual-oriented bookstore, opened and served the community until 2009. In 1969, gays fought back against police raids at the Stonewall Inn in the notorious Stonewall riots, marking the start of the modern gay rights movement--the bar is still in operation.
And in 1970, the first gay Liberation Day March was held in NYC, fueling one of the most recognized parades in gay history. The latest breakthrough brought not only the gay community together again, but was a huge turning stone for gay lovers: New York state legalized same-sex marriages in 2011.
