Subway Station To Be Renamed In Honor Of Stonewall

From the New York City real estate site 6sqft:

The Christopher Street-Sheridan Square subway station in Greenwich Village will be renamed in honor of the Stonewall National Monument.

A bill sponsored by Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assembly Member Deborah Glick passed the New York State Senate on Wednesday, directing the MTA to rename the station to “Christopher Street-Stonewall National Monument Station” to memorialize the site’s crucial role in launching the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement.

The Stonewall National Monument includes the Stonewall Inn, Christopher Park, and Christopher Street, the site of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, one of the most important events in the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

The Senate passed the bill AM Glick and I share to rename the Christopher St 1 station after the Stonewall National Monument. This change will memorialize the history of the modern LGBTQ civil rights movement and inspire NY to demand justice and equality for all.
