c) Stonewall Inn Uprising

The Stonewall Inn Uprising in 1969 in New York City ignited the modern Gay Rights Movement. The riots at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, were a spontaneous response to a police raid and represented a watershed moment for LGBTQ+ activism. This uprising marked the beginning of a more organized and militant fight for LGBTQ+ rights, leading to the establishment of Pride marches and a global movement for equality and acceptance.
