The Stonewall riot, while significant, wasn’t the first. There was one 3 years earlier at Gene Compton’s Café in San Francisco. Also, the gay rights movement didn’t start with Stonewall – homosexual rights groups were in existence long before – but it did give them a big boost.
The first gay pride parade was held to commemorate the one year anniversary of Stonewall.
