A new comic book is being planned to illustrate the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.

Bluewater Productions is currently raising money on Indiegogo in order to publish a book remembering the 1969 Stonewall riots.

The goal is to raise $9,000 (â‚¬6.9k) by 11 July in order to produce the book. Depending on how much you donate, you can receive gifts including winning limited edition copies or being drawn into the book.

‘As time goes on, we’re in danger of losing this important touchstone of our cultural history,’ writer Michael Troy told OUT magazine.

‘In an age where gay rights and marriage equality are still such hot buttons, it’s more important now more than ever, to remember the efforts of those who fought for gay rights.’
