Saturday afternoon at the historic Stonewall Inn, GLAAD is among numerous\u00a0advocacy organizations and public officials hosting an LGBT Solidarity Rally in New York City to show support for equality and acceptance and resist the Presidential administration’s discriminatory actions against immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and more, including the reported\u00a0sweeping “License to Discriminate” executive order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“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,” states the rally’s event page.<\/a><\/p>\n

The rally will take place at 2 PM ET on Saturday at Stonewall Inn, the site of the historic uprising in 1969 that many consider the start of the modern LGBTQ movement. The first LGBTQ\u00a0national monument<\/a>, Stonewall is where many LGBTQ locals gather in times of communal celebration–like when marriage equality became the law of the land in 2015–and crisis, like the aftermath of the horrific attack on Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n
