Headline : New York celebrates 50 years of Stonewall
Caption : Colourful signs in rainbow colours including the inscription "Intersex" or "Pansexual" (various sexual orientations), taken on "Gay Street" in the scene district of Greenwich Village, which was temporarily renamed "Acceptance Street". Half a century ago this would have been unimaginable in the metropolis. On a warm night on June 28, exactly 50 years ago, about 200 people, including many homosexuals, celebrate in the popular bar "Stonewall Inn" in Christopher Street in Greenwich Village when eight policemen suddenly arrive.
