In 1969, a riot at the #Stonewall Inn in #NewYorkCity became the turning point in the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement. For six days, protestors stood up to the police and stood for #equality. Today, the NGPA appreciates and honors those who fought for our rights and carved the way for the #LGTBQ+ community to continue to fight for equality and #love today. 💪🏳️🌈
