#LoveIsLove
Yesterday marks one year since the Supreme Court ruled that marriage equality would be the law of the land in the Obergefell v. Hodges case. On Friday, President Obama designated a new national monument at the historic site of the Stonewall Uprising in New York City to honor the diversity of the LGBT equality movement. And yesterday, in New York City, San Francisco and around the country, people marched in the streets with friends and family to celebrate LGBT pride.
In celebration of our journey towards greater equality and justice for all, read these stories from members of the LGBT community to see what pride means to them.
The President also designated Stonewall Inn, and the area surrounding the establishment, as the newest addition to America's national parks system and as the first national monument to commemorate the struggle for LGBT rights. The events of Stonewall, as the uprising is most commonly referred to, marked a major change in the struggle for "homophile rights" in the U.S., with lesbian women, gay men, bisexual and transgender people beginning to vocally and assertively demand their civil rights. Stonewall is regarded by many as the single most important event that led to the development of the modern LGBT civil rights movement.
