The Stonewall Portraits—Broadway Celebrates a Landmark

The Stonewall Inn, which was the site of the 1969 uprising that ignited the modern Gay Rights movement, received National Historic Landmark Status from President Obama June 24, making it the first LGBTQ establishment in the history of the U.S to receive this distinction.

To celebrate this milestone, and in a stand of solidarity with those who were attacked and killed at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub June 12—like Stonewall, it was a safe haven for the LGBTQ community that was met with brutality—members of the theatre community descended on Stonewall June 20 to not only commemorate history, but to take part in it. The exclusive portrait series was shot by photographer Eric McNatt.  (X)
