LGBT protest at Stonewall Inn takes on edge amid possible blow to gay rights
Australia Kimbrough planned to go to the Stonewall Inn in New York twice this weekend.
The first time was Friday night for a casual drink with her girlfriend as it is, after all, a bar.
The second will be on Saturday afternoon when this reliably-shabby little watering hole transforms into its other role as a US national monument, the most famous landmark for the gay rights movement in the world and a rallying point for what could be as many as 20,000 demonstrators protesting against the policies of Donald Trump.
The stated goal of the event outside the Stonewall Inn on Saturday afternoon is to be a solidarity rally for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community to stand with immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers outraged by the president’s executive order banning refugees and travelers from certain Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.
