Signs at Stonewall

Photoessay: Images from the LGBT Solidarity Rally at the Stonewall National Monument, Saturday, February 4th, 2017

Dozens of elected officials and sponsors from New York-area non-profits gathered outside the historic Stonewall Inn to rally with LGBTQ people and their allies yesterday from 2pm to almost 5 under New York City’s clear if exceptionally chilly February skies. Against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s so-called “travel ban,” the LGBTQ community celebrated the rights and the presence of Muslim people and other immigrants here in the United States, even as they rallied to celebrate and defend their own rights. A selection of images from the event follows.
