Many people consider the Stonewall Inn to be the site of the first major LGBTQ civil rights victory. In the morning hours of June 28, 1969, a riot following a police raid targeting members of Manhattan's LGBTQ community sparked a fire that began the pride movement.
President Obama announced on June 24 that the Stonewall Inn would become America's first LGBTQ civil rights national monument - preserving the story of Stonewall for generations to come.
Sign today and tell the President thank you for making Stonewall's story part of the American story.
