On June 28, 2009, officers from the Fort Worth Police Department and TABC conducted a raid on the Rainbow Lounge, a gay bar in Fort Worth. The incident occurred on the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a 1969 New York riot seen as the start of the LGBT rights movement. Many Rainbow Lounge patrons were present to mark the anniversary. Several customers were arrested for intoxication inside of the bar. One patron was hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning as well as injuries he sustained while in TABC custody. Following the incident, an internal investigation found that three TABC agents who took part in the raid had violated multiple agency policies, leading to their termination. A later Use of Force report found that allegations of improper use of force against two of the agents were unfounded, though the agents' terminations were upheld. According to then-TABC Administrator Alan Steen, "...this is not how we treat people, and we have been looking at this from every angle to find ways to make sure it does not happen again."
