Stonewall Inn's Neon Sign

Origin
The Stonewall riots are considering the igniting factor in the gay rights movement. During the 1960's the LGBT community was facing hardships from a prejudice justice system and the hetero-normative public. Raids were occurring at many bars and congregation places of gay people.

On June 28th, 1969 a police force known as the "Public Morals Squad" and a division of the ATF attempted to raid the Stonewall Inn, a bar in Greenwich, New York that was locally called "Stonewall". The ATF tried to shut down the bar as it was backed by mafia connections, claiming that the liquor was un-stamped and therefore bootlegged. The Public Morals Squad officers burst in and arrested anyone in non-traditional gendered clothing. Those under suspicion were walked to the bathroom where female officers would perform a gender check.

Police attempted to arrest several people for various offenses, but the squad cars to collect them had not all arrived yet. Those that were not arrested were led out of the bar, but instead of going home had remained outside the bar. One women, after attempting to flee, and being beaten over the head with a baton shouted at the crowd, "Why don't you do something?!" This incited the crowd to retaliate.

Effects
When the sign senses that those of the LGBT community are in trouble it will activate let out pink sparks. The sign will incite aggression among the people in the surrounding area and cause them to come to the user's defense. However, once it has started the aggression is hard to reign back in.

Collection
Collected by Hugo and Vanessa. After tracing the trail of incidents back to the Stonewall Inn, they found the sign was inciting the protests. While conflicted about collecting the artifact, both agreed that letting an artifact run unchecked could create more harm than good.
