On August 5, 1969, six weeks after the Stonewall Riots, Atlanta Police raided a screening of Andy Warhol's 'Lonesome Cowboys,' targeting and arresting LGBTQ attendees. This blatant act of discrimination ignited Atlanta’s Gay Liberation Movement, leading to the first Atlanta Pride in 1971. This event became known as "Atlanta's Stonewall" and "The Lonesome Cowboys Police Raid."

55 years later, we are still fighting for our rights. Today, we honor the courage and resilience of those who fought for equality and those affected by this hateful act.
