Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.
The Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center contains interactive exhibits about the Stonewall uprising and LGBTQ+ civil rights movement, as well as informational videos and space for reflection.
