New Stonewall Trailer Teases the Birth of Pride and Gives Us Feels

Fifty years late is better than never.

On Thursday, New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill took a step towards reconciliation between the NYC police and the NYC LGBTQ community, apologizing, at last, for the police department’s actions during the Stonewall Riots of 1969.

Trans activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera are set to be honored with a monument in New York City — and it’s about time.

Both women are considered to have been pivotal to the riots that took place at the Stonewall Inn in 1969, essentially the beginning of the modern gay rights movement. (Though some claim Rivera was not present at the actual riots, she was a regular patron at the Stonewall Inn and undoubtedly still an essential figure in LGBTQ history.)
