An Event Marking the 50-Year Anniversary for LGBT Rights and The Advocate

As people at a gay bar welcomed 1967 on New Year's Eve at the Black Cat Tavern, it was raided by undercover police who beat and arrested anyone who dared kiss a person of the same-sex at midnight. This weekend marked 50 years since protesters organized and then took to the streets of Los Angeles on February 11, 1967 to stand up to police brutality. The protest movement would also found a newsletter, The Advocate, that has become the magazine you're reading right now. (Photos by Yannick Delva)
