Thousands Attend LGBT Solidarity Rally Protesting Donald Trump at Stonewall Inn: WATCH LIVE
Thousands are attending an LGBT Solidarity Rally this afternoon at the Stonewall Inn. We’ll try to provide live video as available (see above and below)
The rally, organized by NYC Councilman Corey Johnson, received responses from more than 36,000 people on its facebook event page.
The rally has the sponsorship of more than 60 groups and 16 lawmakers including Governor Andrew Cuomo, Congressman Jerrold Nadler and Senator Brad Hoylman.
Says the invite:
“Join us in front of the Stonewall Inn as we stand in solidarity with every immigrant, asylum seeker, refugee and every person impacted by Donald Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional and un-American executive orders. We will also speak out against Trump’s selection of the most anti-LGBT nominees and appointees in modern history.”

Anti-Trump protest at Stonewall Inn expected to draw huge crowd
The Stonewall Inn is considered to be the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ rights movement and as equality is once again under attack it is only fitting that it should once again be home to what looks to be a massive protest.
An LGBT Solidarity rally on Saturday from 2-4 P.M. has been organized by New York Councilman Corey Johnson, with the express purpose of protesting the policies of the Trump administration.

“Join us in front of the Stonewall Inn as we stand in solidarity with every immigrant, asylum seeker, refugee and every person impacted by Donald Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional and un-American executive orders. We will also speak out against Trump’s selection of the most anti-LGBT nominees and appointees in modern history,” the event’s Facebook page reads.
There have also been concerns of a possible executive order coming from the Trump administration on “religious freedom,” which would offer up a license to discriminate against the LGBTQ community and others so long as a religious belief could be cited as the motivation for that discrimination.
While the White House has attempted to quiet those fears, and while there are reports that Ivanka Trump and her husband, and adviser to the president, Jared Kushner might have helped kill the anti-LGBTQ order, LGBTQ rights groups remain on alert. President Trump spoke repeatedly of the importance for “religious freedom” during his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday.

The event page lists co-sponsors that include GLAAD, the Ali Forney Center, Gays Against Guns, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, Coming Out Muslim, Equality New York, Harlem Pride, PFLAG NYC, The New York Immigration Coalition, The Trevor Project and many others.
A number of elected officials are also listed, including Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Michael Moore and a host of other celebrities led a rally against President Trump the night before his inauguration in front of Trump Tower in New York City, which was one of the bigger anti-Trump rallies, behind the Women’s March on Washington.

‘Magic Mike,’ ‘Paris Is Burning’, ‘King Cobra’ and More Films Streaming This Month
Looking for something to stream while you Netflix and chill? Check out our picks for new films streaming this month below, including I Love You Phillip Morris, Milk, and Paris Is Burning.
Magic Mike (2012), available Feb. 1 on Netflix
Even with the mumble-mouthed female lead (Cody Horn), the tale of a Florida all-male strip club loosely inspired by Channing Tatum’s start is better than it ever needed to be. We would have tuned in to see Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Adam Rodriguez bump and grind regardless of the plot.
Paris Is Burning (1990), available Feb. 1 on Netlfix
When even Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are casually tossing off words like “shade” and “reading,” it’s important to remember the origin of so many pieces of today’s pop vernacular. This classic documentary dives deep into the ball culture of 1980s New York City and the largely queer people of color community that defined it. To say it’s essential viewing is a vast understatement.
From This Day Forward: A Trans Love Story (2015), available Feb. 1 on Netflix
Like a real-life Transparent, this film follows the true story of a transgender woman and her family as they journey to deepen each other’s understanding of one another.
Me, Myself and Her (2015), available Feb. 6 on Netflix
If you don’t mind the sort of tired “lesbian cheats on her partner with a man” trope, this Italian film paints a compelling portrait of desire and temptation. It’s kind of like I Bambini Stanno Bene.
King Cobra (2016), available Feb. 14 on Netflix
Celebrate Valentine’s Day by indulging in this crime drama inspired by the murder of gay porn producer Bryan Kocis. The film portrays the complicated and volatile career of early-aughts gay porn star Brent Corrigan and the battle for his performance contract that led to the slaying of Kocis.
Fire Song (2015), available Feb. 15 on Netflix
One of the few films to focus on queer youths in native populations, Fire Song follows a gay Anishinaabe teenager coping with his sister’s suicide, deciding between going off to college and staying to support his family.
Milk (2008), available Feb. 16 on Netflix.
Director Gus Van Sant’s and writer Dustin Lance Black’s stunning biopic of civil rights pioneer Harvey Milk boasts an all-star cast, including Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, James Franco and Emile Hirsch.
Rent (2005), available Feb. 1 on Hulu.
Yes, it’s terribly dated, and, yes, the aging original Broadway cast can barely pass for the idealist youths they originally portrayed, but just try to stop yourself to singing along. Plus, Idina Menzel is always a KWEEN.
I Love You Phillip Morris (2009), available Feb. 3 on Hulu.
Jim Carrey schemes his way out of prison and into Ewan McGregor’s heart as a gay con artist in this dark comedy.
Crossroads (2002), available Feb. 1 on HBO
Did you know Shonda Rhimes wrote this Britney Spears “acting” vehicle? Technically, it’s not better than the worst Grey’s Anatomy episode, but it’s the kind of so bad, it’s good disaster that it’s earned its spot in the gay camp canon.
Tickled (2016), available Feb. 27 on HBO
It’s tough to talk about this documentary without giving too, too much away, Suffice to say, what begins as one gay journalist’s journey into the world of male tickling videos spirals into a chilling conspiracy that’s truly no laughing matter.
