Bar in NYC Gets Plaque for Early Activism

Before the famed Stonewall riots, Julius’ Bar in New York made LGBTQ history. Set in a Manhattan building from 1825, Julius’ Bar now bears a plaque commemorating events from April 21st, 1966, now called the ‘Sip In.’ Julius’ was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Julius’ Bar is open 7 days a week. They say “life isn't all about partying” and use proceeds to support The American Red Cross and The Trevor Project, among other charities.

They gotta have security in this bar, can't risk having another LGBTQ shooting.
