"I think it’s because queer rights are more under attack than ever," Gonia said."And I think if we don’t acknowledge the past, we’re bound to repeat. So, at a place like Stonewall, this beautiful place, it’s a place where so much discrimination and hatred occurred against the queer community, but it’s also a place where resistance and queer joy and queer liberation happened."And I think that is worth celebrating and commemorating.
