Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people have been historically discriminated against in much of the world. Even the many on Steemit who disapprove of someone else's "lifestyle" should be mature and evolved enough to leave others alone and let them live their lives in peace.
It came from an incident in New York City in 1969 when the police raided a bar called The Stonewall Inn, which was a place where many LGBT people gathered, under the "decency" laws of the city. It is true that Stonewall was serving liquor without a license and there were many acts of prostitution taking place there.
For reference, note how differently History Channel and Wikipedia frame the context for this story.
Modern "Pride" parades and events are a response to the Stonewall Riots. I keep reminding people that it's a protest, not a public orgy.
