Gerard Mawn, Mawn's husband Angel Love Figueroa, and friend Angel Isaac Jimenez have drinks in a back corner of the Stonewall Inn on June 24, 2016 in New York City. President Barack Obama designated the Stonewall Inn and approximately 7.7 acres surrounding it as the first national monument dedicated 'to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights.' The tavern is considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement, where patrons fought back against police persecution in 1969.
