September 12, 201016 yr Seymour Pine, the deputy police inspector who led the raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, on a hot summer night in 1969 — a moment that helped start the gay liberation movement — died Thursday at an assisted-living center in Whippany, N.J. He was 91. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/08/nyregion/08pine.html?_r=2&hpw

But, on the other hand, we owe him a lot. Would the gay community have ever become united without an incident like Stonewall?
