The Stonewall Inn

The Stonewall had to run on this fiction that it was a members only club. They would always hire gay people as bouncers because oftentimes when the cops came, they would arrest the people working there. The owners of the bar would never actually be there and they would hire gay employees to make sure that they could just let them get arrested and then replace them with another bouncer and other bartender the next week. There were some queens who knew the managers of the bar and were able to get in. And also from all accounts, Stonewall was super fun. Like, it sounds like an actual blast. So it was a dive bar and it was pretty awesome.
