  • Presidential Documents Vol
    42215 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 81, No. 125 Wednesday, June 29, 2016 Title 3— Proclamation 9465 of June 24, 2016 The President Establishment of the Stonewall National Monument By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Christopher Park, a historic community park located immediately across the street from the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City (City), is a place for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community to assemble for marches and parades, expres- sions of grief and anger, and celebrations of victory and joy. It played a key role in the events often referred to as the Stonewall Uprising or Rebellion, and has served as an important site for the LGBT community both before and after those events. As one of the only public open spaces serving Greenwich Village west of 6th Avenue, Christopher Park has long been central to the life of the neighborhood and to its identity as an LGBT-friendly community. The park was created after a large fire in 1835 devastated an overcrowded tenement on the site. Neighborhood residents persuaded the City to condemn the approximately 0.12-acre triangle for public open space in 1837. By the 1960s, Christopher Park had become a popular destination for LGBT youth, many of whom had run away from or been kicked out of their homes. These youth and others who had been similarly oppressed felt they had little to lose when the community clashed with the police during the Stone- wall Uprising. In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, a riot broke out in response to a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, at the time one of the City’s best known LGBT bars.

  • Learn More About Pride History
    The LGBTQ Pride That Changed American History Pride Month has not always been the impressive celebration we know it to be today. Pride parades/marches have grown tremendously over the past 50 years and it is important to remember the roots of this powerful cultural movement to understand our present. THE STONEWALL RIOTS In June of 1969, New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a local gay and lesbian bar. Enraged by the constant police harassment and social discrimination of the LGBTQ community, angry patrons and neighborhood residents became increasingly agitated and a full-blown riot involving hundreds of people began. Over the next five days, the protests against the raid continued, and became a pivotal turning point for LGBTQ activism. On the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, thousands of people marched from the Stonewall Inn to Central Park and adopted the theme of “Gay Pride” in retaliation against the current attitude of shame. That march soon expanded to other cities until Pride became the massive celebration that we know today. THE HISTORY OF THE PRIDE FLAG Commissioned by a well-known gay politician Harvey Milk, the rainbow flag was created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker for San Francisco’s annual pride parade, after they both felt the need for a rallying sign for the gay community. Though the flag originally featured 8 different colors, the colors later decreased to 6, with each color signifying a different meaning. Today, there’s easily a dozen different Pride flags, each representing different segments of the LGTBQ community. However, the most prevalent flag is known as the “Progress Pride Flag”, which was designed by Daniel Quasar in 2018 and features the original 6 color flag plus a triangle with brown, black, baby blue, pink, and white stripes to represent people of color and the trans community, respectively.

  • Milestones in the United States'
    MILESTONES IN THE UNITED STATES’ The landscape of LGBTQ+ rights has changed dramatically over the past 150+ years, most notably with legislation in 2015 supporting same-sex marriage. It is vital that our workplace recognize what it means to create a culture of inclusion and belonging and to understand what achieving LGBTQ+ equality truly requires. Below is a timeline that highlights the inception of LGBTQ+ organizations, important first fights against discrimination, and instrumental political and legal changes in the United States. 1867 Karl-Heinrich Ulrichs, “Father of the LGBT Movement,” becomes the first self-proclaimed homosexual to speak out publicly for gay rights at the Congress of German Jurists in Munich. 1903 The Ariston Bathhouse raid is the first anti-gay police raid on an establishment located in New York City. It results in 34 arrests, 16 charges of sodomy and 12 trials. 1924 The Society for Human Rights, the first gay rights organization in the United States, is founded by Henry Gerber in Chicago. It is shut down by police a few months later due to political pressure. 1952 The American Psychiatric Association (APA) lists homosexuality as a mental disorder in its first publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Immediately following the manual’s release, many medical, mental health and social science professionals criticize the categorization due to lack of empirical and scientific data. 1953 President Dwight Eisenhower signs Executive Order 10450, banning homosexuals from working for the federal government or any of its private contractors. The Order lists homosexuals as security risks, alcoholics and neurotics.
