While the Stonewall Uprising was not the first incident of LGBTQ people resisting police brutality and fighting for fair treatment, it did rouse many to action. After the Stonewall Uprising, leaders such as Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera (among others) started groups such as the Gay Liberation Front and STAR, leading to substantially more visibility for the LGBTQ community and movement.
Now, the LGBTQ movement is facing new struggles. While progress has been made in some areas, such as the “Rainbow Wave” in the 2018 midterms, and continuing inclusion of LGBTQ storylines in entertainment, there are also aggressive attacks on the LGBTQ community coming from the highest levels of the United States government-- over 106 attacks, and counting.
