Get The Mafia Out Of Gay Bars

Created by P.C. on October 23, 2013

On the Friday night of June 27, 1969 the NYPD raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, and its patrons unleashed a firestorm that was directed not only against the cops but the bar's Mafia owners. Of course, a few rowdy nights were not going to chase the Mafia out of the lucrative gay bar racket which it had controlled for decades in New York City. The question remains whether the mob to this day still has a hidden hand in some gay establishments, and based upon claims from some industry insiders and other apparent evidence the answer may be yes. It's time to finally eliminate any remaining Mafia influence or ties from the gay bars.
