On June 28, 1969, police raided the #StonewallInn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and #BIPOC #LGBTQ+ people.

Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back.

The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.

Black & white photo of the Stonewall Inn in NYC back in the day with the following text overlaid: ANNIVERSARY OF THE STONEWALL REBELLION On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and BIPOC LGBTQ+ people. Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back. The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. New Jersey's own Marsha P. Johnson, who arrived at the bar after the riots had started, was instrumental in channeling the post-rebellion fervor for queer liberation among the city's poor, homeless, trans and gender nonconforming youth of color. One year later, the first Pride marches were held to honor the bravery of the veterans of the rebellion and continue the fight for equality they galvanized that night. From Garden State Equality

Someone proposed that LEGO make a set for the Stonewall National Monument in New York. It seems really well-designed to me, and LEGO's policy is that if a proposal gets over 10,000 votes, they'll actually consider it and respond. It's sitting around 9,500 votes right now. You can vote for it at the link below.

screenshot of a proposed LEGO build for Stonewall National Monument, NY. The proposal was made on Jan 20, 2025. The sample build shows the facades of a 3-story tan building and a 2-story building (white on top, red brick on bottom) with a park in front. There are minifigs in the park. There are pride flags on the shorter building and window boxes on the taller one. The street sign on the light post says Christopher Street. In the red brick wall are two arched doorways framing a large picture window that says "The Stonewall Inn." There's a rainbow crosswalk between the Stonewall Inn and the park, and a bike lane.
