Obama Names LGBT Landmark As National Monument

Obama Names LGBT Landmark As National Monument | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it
President Obama is designating a new national monument at the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.
Matt Skallerud's insight:

The Stonewall National Monument in New York City will be the first addition to the National Park System specifically highlighting the history of the LGBT community. The monument covers nearly 8 acres in New York's Greenwich Village including a landmark gay bar, the Stonewall Inn. In June of 1969, gay patrons at the bar fought back against police persecution — an event that's widely seen as a watershed in the campaign for LGBT rights.
