of ,georgia1 ,ms4 ,titus1 ,mr4 ,soto1   
and ,mr4 ,quigley7 submitted the        
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on the ,judiciary    
,,resolution  ,recognizing the #ejth    
anniversary of the ,stonewall ,uprising4
  ,whereas the ,stonewall ,inn opened on
 or around ,march #ah1 #aifg1 at #ea-ec 
,christopher ,street in ,greenwich      
,village1 ,new ,york ,city1 ,new ,york2 
,whereas ,greenwich ,village and        
establishments like the ,stonewall ,inn 
served as a sanctuary for members of the

 lesbian1 gay1 bisexual1 transgender1   
and queer 7,,lgbtq7 community from      
persecution by police and society at    
large2 ,whereas1 at that time1 many     
,state and local governments1 including 
,new ,york ,city1 criminalized how      
,,lgbtq people expressed their          
identities and their relationships2     
,whereas1 at that time1 ,,lgbtq people  
were frequently harassed by law         
enforcement1 including the ,new ,york   
,city ,police ,department2 ,whereas     
,,lgbtq people had begun to stand up to 
such police harassment1 including at    
,cooper ,do-nuts in ,los ,angeles in    
#aiei1 ,compton's ,cafeteria in ,san    
,francisco in #aiff1 and ,black ,cat    
,tavern in ,los ,angeles in #aifg2      
,whereas1 in the early morning hours of 
,june #bh1 #aifi1 the ,new ,york ,city  
,police ,department raided the          
,stonewall ,inn and arrested many       
patrons of the ,inn1 but brave          
individuals1 particularly transgender   
women of color1 stood up to injustice   

that night2 ,whereas these strong voices
 sparked an uprising against the police1
 with confrontations and protests at the
 ,stonewall ,inn and the surrounding    
area lasting until ,july #c1 #aifi2     
,whereas the ,stonewall ,uprising       
empowered thousands of ,,lgbtq people to
 emerge from the shadows and come out   
publicly as they stood up for their     
community that night1 putting their     
lives and safety at risk2 ,whereas1     
along with public protests in ,chicago1 
,los ,angeles1 ,new ,york1              
,philadelphia1 ,san ,francisco1 the     
,district of ,columbia1 and elsewhere1  
the ,stonewall ,uprising became a       
catalyst for the ,,lgbtq civil rights   
movement to secure social and political 
equality and inspired the formation of  
many advocacy organizations2 ,whereas1  
on ,june #bg and #bh1 #aigj1 members of 
the ,,lgbtq community commemorated the  
first anniversary of ,stonewall and     
reaffirmed the solidarity of the ,,lgbtq
 community by organizing the first      

,pride marches or gatherings in ,new    
,york ,city1 ,san ,francisco1 ,chicago1 
and ,los ,angeles2 ,whereas the         
,stonewall ,uprising is remembered and  
celebrated every year in ,june during   
,,lgbtq ,pride ,month2 ,whereas1 in     
,june #bjaf1 the ,stonewall ,inn and its
 surrounding area was declared a        
,national ,monument1 becoming the first 
national monument to commemorate the    
,,lgbtq civil rights movement2 ,whereas1
 in ,june #bjai1 ,world ,pride will be  
held for the first time in the ,united  
,states in ,new ,york ,city to          
commemorate the ,stonewall ,uprising1   
bringing representatives of the global  
,,lgbtq community together to recognize 
these historic events2 ,whereas1 on ,may
 #cj1 #bjai1 the government of ,new     
,york ,city announced that it would     
dedicate a monument honoring pioneering 
transgender activists and key leaders in
 the ,stonewall ,uprising1 ,marsha ,p4  
,johnson and ,sylvia ,rivera1 the first 
permanent1 public monument in the world 

honoring transgender women2 ,whereas1 on
 ,june #f1 #bjai1 the ,new ,york ,city  
,police ,commissioner issued an official
 apology on behalf of the ,new ,york    
,city ,police ,department1 stating1 ,the
 actions taken by the ,,nypd were       
wrong--plain and simple42 ,whereas1     
despite the progress made since the     
,stonewall ,uprising1 members of the    
,,lgbtq community continue to experience
 biased policing and are still at       
significant risk of violence and        
discrimination2 ,whereas according to   
the annual hate crimes report of the    
,federal ,bureau of ,investigation1     
,,lgbtq people1 particularly ,,lgbtq    
people of color1 continue to be the     
target of bias-motivated violence1 and  
efforts to address this violence may be 
hindered by a continued lack of trust in
 law enforcement2 ,whereas at least #ajj
 transgender individuals1 primarily     
women of color1 have been murdered in   
the ,united ,states since the beginning 
of #bjae2 and ,whereas no ,american     

should have to fear being the target of 
violence because of who they are or who 
they love3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that
 the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7  
recognizes the #ejth anniversary of the 
,stonewall ,uprising2  7#b7 condemns    
violence and discrimination against     
members of the lesbian1 gay1 bisexual1  
transgender1 and queer 7,,lgbtq7        
community and recommits itself to       
securing justice1 equality1 and         
well-being for ,,lgbtq people2 and  7#c7
 commends the bravery1 solidarity1 and  
resiliency of the ,,lgbtq community in  
the face of violence and discrimination1
 both past and present4
