A single night at a popular gay bar on Christopher Street would change everything.

Martin Boyce tells the story of his experience at the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969, when a seemingly ignored uprising after a police raid altered the course of history for homosexuals throughout the country.

“I thought this was it, we are going to get it, we don’t have Christopher Street anymore, they’re gonna get us, we’re never going to be able to gather here anymore... we’ve taken a step backward,” Boyce told the Daily News.

“And I was wrong,” he added.
