At a time when it was rare for a gay bar to last as long as a year, the Stonewall lasted for more than two years, in part because its owners paid the police very handsomely. Its Mafia owners not only made large profits by overcharging their patrons; they also ran a prostitution ring that drained the bank accounts of some of their clients by blackmailing them.

That ring also gathered information that was used to pressurize patrons who worked on Wall Street into stealing from the brokerage houses that employed them. Still, the club remained popular because, for most of its clients, it was a unique place of rare camaraderie and freedom. When an honest police officer, Inspector Seymour Pine, was appointed in to head the morals division for the section of Manhattan that included the Village, he was ordered to close the Stonewall because of its blackmail operation.
But this was such a closely held secret that Pine did not even tell the men he commanded the reason for the raids he led on the Stonewall, leaving the LGBTQ community to assume that the only purpose of the raids was to harass them. And so it happened that, when the morals police led a large raid on the Stonewall club at the end of June , clubgoers spontaneously resisted them.

Not only was the club popular within the community and viewed as a special place, but the aggressive raid made the lesbian and gay populace feel as if the few square feet in New York City where they felt some degree of ownership and liberty was being taken away from them. Thus began a six-day mass uprising, the first time — and, still to this day, the only time — in history that thousands of homosexuals took to the streets day after day to fight the police in defense of their rights. It is no surprise that the gay people who participated in and witnessed the event were stunned and exhilarated by it.
But the most perspicacious members of the community realized that not only had they been handed a very rare opportunity, but if something was not quickly made of it, that potential would evaporate as quickly as dry ice left in the open air. As activists talked about and debated what should be done, a very radical organization, the Gay Liberation Front GLF , quickly came into being. But with its Marxist and confrontational approach to 'liberation', the GLF soon became distasteful even to many of its founders. This group eschewed violence, emphasized democratic decision-making, and adopted a policy of working only for gay equality.
The GAA was politically astute and media savvy. Soon they created a new kind of protest, 'the zap', the purpose of which was to attack hardcore opponents of gay equality in unexpected, creative and humorous ways that were tailored for public consumption through the media. Soon these demonstrations were being reported nationally. Such brash assertions of gay pride and militancy electrified the gay community, and the previously tiny movement — to use today's language — went viral. Soon sodomy laws were being overturned and legislation that outlawed discrimination against gay men and lesbians was being passed.
What is Stonewall's legacy? First, Stonewall created a mass movement by inspiring the creation of a new phase of the 'gay liberation movement'.

It was because this became a mass movement that almost all of the gains of the last half-century were made possible. Finally, the history of the gay liberation movement began to be recognized as a legitimate — indeed, significant — part of national and international history, as well as a legitimate civil rights movement with its own distinct story. But apart from that, the Citadelpark stays the best choice for a healthy green walk.
