Stonewall Is the First National LGBT Rights Monument. It Won't Be the Last

President Obama announced Friday that he had dedicated the area around New York City's Stonewall Inn, perhaps the place most closely aligned with the modern LGBT rights movement, as a national monument. "Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights," he said.

But Stonewall while Stonewall is the first, it almost certainly will not be the last national monument dedicated to historic tales of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
