,feinstein7 submitted the following     
resolution2 which was considered and    
agreed to  ,,resolution  ,recognizing   
the #ejth ,anniversary of the ,stonewall
 uprising4  ,whereas the ,stonewall ,inn
 opened on or around ,march #ah1 #aifg1 
at #ec ,christopher ,street in the      
,greenwich ,village neighborhood of ,new
 ,york ,city2 ,whereas the neighborhood 
of ,greenwich ,village1 and             
establishments like the ,stonewall ,inn1

 served as a sanctuary for members of   
the lesbian1 gay1 bisexual1 transgender1
 and queer 7referred to in this preamble
 as ,,lgbtq7 community from persecution 
by police and society at large2 ,whereas
 during the time around the opening of  
the ,stonewall ,inn1 many ,state and    
local governments1 including ,new ,york 
,city1 criminalized how ,,lgbtq         
individuals express their identities and
 relationships1 which resulted in       
,,lgbtq individuals frequently being    
harassed by law enforcement1 including  
the ,new ,york ,city ,police ,department
 7referred to in this preamble as the   
,,nypd72 ,whereas ,,lgbtq individuals   
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 ,,nypd raided the ,stonewall 
,inn and arrested many patrons2 ,whereas

 brave individuals1 particularly        
transgender women of color1 stood up to 
injustice the night of ,june #bh1 #aifi1
 which sparked an uprising against the  
,,nypd1 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         
individuals to emerge from the shadows  
and come out publicly as they stood up  
for their community the night of ,june  
#bh1 #aifi and beyond1 putting their    
lives and safety at risk2 ,whereas1     
along with public protests in ,chicago1 
,los ,angeles1 ,new ,york1              
,philadelphia1 ,san ,francisco1         
,washington1 ,d4,c41 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-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 marches1 or gatherings1 in ,new  
,york ,city1 ,san ,francisco1 ,chicago1 
and ,los ,angeles2 ,whereas the         
,stonewall uprising is remembered and   
celebrated every year in ,june during   
8,,lgbtq ,pride ,month02 ,whereas in    
,june #bjaf the ,stonewall ,inn and its 
surrounding area was declared a national
 monument1 becoming the first national  
monument to commemorate the ,,lgbtq     
civil rights movement2 ,whereas         
,world,pride will be held in ,june #bjai
 for the first time in the ,united      
,states in ,new ,york ,city to          
commemorate the ,stonewall uprising1    
bringing representatives of the global  
,,lgbtq community to recognize these    
historic events2 ,whereas on ,may #cj1  
#bjai1 ,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 permanent public     
monument in the world honoring          
transgender women2 ,whereas on ,june #f1
 #bjai1 the ,,nypd officially apologized
 for the raid on the ,stonewall ,inn2   
,whereas1 despite the progress made     
since the ,stonewall uprising1 members  
of the ,,lgbtq community have           
experienced biased policing and are     
still at significant risk of violence   
and discrimination2 ,whereas1 according 
to the annual hate crimes report        
published by the ,federal ,bureau of    
,investigation1 ,,lgbtq individuals1    
particularly ,,lgbtq individuals 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 not less than #ajj
 transgender individuals1 primarily     
women of color1 have been murdered in   
the ,united ,states since the beginning 
of #bjae2 and ,whereas no individual in 

the ,united ,states should have to fear 
being the target of violence because of 
who they are or who they love3 ,now1    
therefore1 be it  ,that the ,senate--   
7#a7 recognizes the #ejth ,anniversary  
of the ,stonewall uprising2  7#b7       
condemns violence and discrimination    
against members of the ,,lgbtq community
 and recommits itself to securing       
justice1 equality1 and well-being for   
,,lgbtq individuals2 and  7#c7 commends 
the bravery1 solidarity1 and resiliency 
of the ,,lgbtq community in the face of 
violence and discrimination1 both past  
and present4
