Info Post
The city made the Stonewall a designated landmark earlier this summer, and the National Parks Conservation Association has been pushing to make Christopher Park across the street a national park. That would require the city handing over control to the National Park Service, and an act of Congress creating a new national park site. A park honoring the uprising against homophobic police action at Stonewall would be the first honoring LGBT people.
The list of supporters for a national park includes Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Sens. Kirsten Gellibrand and Charles Schumer, 11 other congressmembers, 13 state senators, 37 assemblymembers, 5 councilmembers, Comptroller Scott Stringer, Public Advocate Letitia James, and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer.
