Stonewall was a riot against police violence.
Two weeks before Pride month, organizers banned LGBTQ officers in uniform from the march. The celebration has become the object of heated debate: Is Pride too corporate? Should police officers be allowed to march? Is it a revolution, or is it a party?

Decriminalizing sex work is an LGBTQ issue. It’s also an anti-violence issue. You cannot talk about the high rates of violence against trans women, particularly trans women or color, and not talk about sex work.

Layleen Xtravaganza Cubilette-Polanco died in punitive segregation on Rikers Island on June 7, 2019. She was a 27-year-old Afro-Latinx transgender woman. Today, the NYC Board of Correction - independent oversight agency - published a report on her death.
