i think she's referring to the cops

Why would you think that

That would be weird, considering she's also referencing Seneca Falls and Selma.

stonewall was not a patriotic event

But it was an important turning point in the human rights story of our country.

we can't go to the bathroom in public, what was the turning point exactly?

I've always understood that the Stonewall riots were the beginning of the gay rights movement in the U.S. Am I wrong about that?

stonewall was a bunch of people who got beat up by cops and then the government killed them with aids

She is absolutley not referring to the cops.

Yes it is considered a key moment in LGBTQ+ rights. "The first pride was a riot" is a common quote and in reference to riots for LGBTQ+ rights.
