Today, we honor the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history that ignited a movement for equality and justice. In June 1969, brave individuals at the Stonewall Inn in New York City stood up against injustice and discrimination, sparking a revolution that continues to inspire us today. Their courage laid the foundation for the progress we’ve made and the work that still lies ahead. As we reflect on this anniversary, let's celebrate the diversity and strength of our community. At NGLCC, we are committed to fostering an inclusive economy where LGBTQ+ businesses thrive and our voices are heard. Together, we honor the legacy of Stonewall by promoting equality, embracing diversity, and driving change. #Stonewall55
