text:  This is Pride Weekend in New York City, and the observances include one marking a landmark event that happened 55 years ago this weekend. It was at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York's Greenwich Village, in 1969 that patrons decided to fight back against police who raided the venue. Music icon Elton John says the five days of rioting at the Stonewall Inn changed the face of gay life in America and the world.
