June 28, 2019

San Francisco–  Today, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), Chair of the California Legislative LGTBQ Caucus, issued the following statement on the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots:

“Today is the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, when our community rose up and said: ‘No more. You’re not doing this to us anymore.’ Stonewall wasn’t the first uprising—San Francisco and Los Angeles were first—but Stonewall galvanized an international movement for LGTBQ equality and inclusion. The fight continues. Let’s keep moving forward.”
