Men walk hand-in-hand down Sunset Boulevard during a rally to mark the 50th anniversary of the protest at The Black Cat Tavern, credited as the site of the first LGBTQ civil rights protest in the nation, on February 11, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. Community anger erupted in protest several weeks after police beat up patrons at the bar during New Year celebrations, arresting two of them for kissing, a sex crime at the time. Similar social conflicts would later fuel the Stonewall riots in New York during the summer of 1969. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
