Last Night In Sheridan Square

... in front of the old Stonewall Bar, almost exactly 42 years after the start of the riots there, a huge crowd gathered for a very different reason, to celebrate and not to fight.








Some revelers in the exact same spot on a hot summer night 42 years ago this weekend.





And so far, my favorite comment on last night from a straight guy:
