17 stunning images from the Stonewall Inn solidarity rally
LGBT people from across New York City rallied infant of Stonewall Inn yesterday to stand as allies against recent discriminatory policies being issues by President Trump.
The protest event was organised by Stonewall with the intention to stand in solidarity with āevery person impacted by Donald Trumpās illegal, immoral, unconstitutional and un-American executive orders. We will also speak out against Trumpās selection of the most anti-LGBT nominees and appointees in modern history,ā according to the event details.
Protestors stood in defiance against Trumpās muslim ban, as well as a rumoured anti-LGBT executive order that was allegedly blocked by Trumpās daughter, Ivanka.
