The #Stonewall Uprising was a crucial moment in the gay liberation movement, but there are A LOT of misconceptions out there about what actually happened. As LGBTQ+ rights continue to be challenged, it’s crucial to have accurate historical context – all year long. #CivicSeason

To celebrate LGBT History Month, I joined outdoor advocate and climate movement icon Pattie Gonia to discuss how places like Stonewall National Monument help tell our country’s full and honest story.

Morning magic in Greenwich Village with the first light of the day!

The history of Stonewall and what it inspired—and continues to inspire—is already so rich, why make stuff up and perpetuate myths? If we expect others to respect our LGBTQ history, we have to respect it ourselves. New Making Gay History episode. Listen here: bit.ly/mgh-stonewall55

In 1969, the Stonewall Inn was a popular gathering place for New York City's gay community. In the early hours of June 28, police raided the bar and began arresting people. Raids like this were not new, but this time, patrons pushed back and stood up for themselves.

On the 55th anniversary of the rebellion, the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center will open its doors to further tell the story of Stonewall and its impact on the LGBTQI+ civil rights movement. Photo by J. Burna / NPS
