On June 28, 2020, on the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the Queer Liberation March Protest in New York City clashed with [[New York Police Department]] officers. Police alleged that this feud started as a result of a participant vandalizing an NYPD vehicle. Participants claimed tensions began when police attempted to arrest one protester, leading to them beginning to arrest other protestors. Participants also claimed that police pepper sprayed them and used tear gas. [[GLAAD]] condemned the police's use of force, comparing it to the actions of police in the original Stonewall riots.<ref>{{cite web|first1=Rikki |last1=Reyna |first2=Dave |last2=Goldiner |first3=John |last3=Annese|title=Police clash with gay pride and BLM protesters in Manhattan on anniversary of Stonewall riots|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-protest-stonewall-police-clash-20200628-sj2iqf5yu5bg7l2emyodzmcef4-story.html|access-date=2020-06-29|website=nydailynews.com|date=June 28, 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=NYPD clashes with protesters during pride rally on anniversary of Stonewall riots|url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/nypd-clashes-protesters-pride-rally-anniversary-stonewall-riots/story?id=71510651|access-date=2020-06-29|website=ABC News|language=en}}</ref>
