An embrace on a New York street corner when homosexuality was illegal. Eliminating the federal recognition of transgender people, it also denies federal funding from programs that promote “gender ideology.” Yet, as the Magnum archive shows, non-violent opposition always breeds new forms. The Stonewall Uprising began on June 28, 1969, when police raided the Stonewall Inn, a prominent gay bar in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.
Today, homosexuality is still criminalized in 65 countries around the world. Displays of devotion and tenderness in Lebanon. Marches took place in Manhattan, Chicago and San Francisco to mark the anniversary of Stonewall the following June, and, over time, it became an annual event in more and more cities. The body unbound.

Kaitlyn McCormick, The Courier-PostIn:
Wrapped in multicolored flags and waving protest signs, revelers across the globe have gathered throughout June for Pride events — a monthlong celebration of the LGBTQ community that also symbolizes an ongoing fight for equal rights and inclusion.
The roots of Pride Month stretch back to June 28, 1969, when a police raid on New York City's Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, led to several nights of clashes with the bar's LGBTQ patrons and others, which became known as the Stonewall Riots or Stonewall Uprising — a demonstration that's now considered the start of the LGBTQ rights movement.
56 years on, repressive laws and social mores that restrict LGBTQ+ liberties persist. 70,000 participants marched through the streets for the 29th edition of Brussels Pride, held under the theme 'Unite, time to protect our rights.'
