TotallyOz Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Seymour Pine, the deputy police inspector who led the raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, on a hot summer night in 1969 — a moment that helped start the gay liberation movement — died Thursday at an assisted-living center in Whippany, N.J. He was 91. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/08/nyregion/08pine.html?_r=2&hpw Quote
Members OneFinger Posted September 13, 2010 Members Posted September 13, 2010 According to the article he indicated the raid was wrong. I'm glad he lived long enough to regret what he did and issue a public apology. But, on the other hand, we owe him a lot. Would the gay community have ever become united without an incident like Stonewall? Quote
