President Biden praised the LGBTQ community in remarks at Stonewall on Friday, a day after his presidential debate against former President Trump.
Friday marked the 55 years since the start of the Stonewall riots, which were demonstrations against a police raid that took place at the Stonewall Inn and was largely considered the start of the U.S. gay rights movement. Biden traveled to New York City to mark the anniversary and attend the opening of the new Stonewall National Monument Visitors Center at the end of Pride Month.
