People from around the world gathered in New York's Greenwich Village on Friday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of the LGBT movement.<br /><br />The anniversary marks the occasion on June 28, 1969, when patrons of Greenwich Village gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, rose up in defiance of police harassment. <br /><br />The unrest triggered a national and global movement for equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. <br /><br />Between four and six million people are expected to take part in the city's Pride Rally this weekend, which is part of a month-long Pride celebration commemorating the Stonewall uprising.
