Rally in New York supports immigrants and rights for gays and lesbians


People rally in front of New York's Stonewall Inn on Saturday in solidarity with immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and the LGBT community. Members and allies of New York’s LGBT community rallied Saturday in front of the historic Stonewall Inn, the site of one of the country's earliest gay rights protests, to challenge President Trump’s restrictions on immigration and refugees. “Donald Trump is a liar,” New York state Sen. Tom Duane said, noting that the LGBT community had pledged itself to a new era of honesty. “Most of us were in the closet — that’s the way we used to live. Andrew Cuomo lent their support to the rally along with notable LGBT organizations such as GLAAD, which said in a statement that the rally would “show support for equality and acceptance and resist the presidential administration’s discriminatory actions."
