Playbill Pride Look Back at The Stonewall Portraits, Capturing a Historic Milestone in LGBTQ+ History Harvey Fierstein, Tony Kushner, Edie Windsor, Lorna Luft, Lea DeLaria, Chita Rivera, Joel Grey, and George Takei were among the activists and artists who made a historic visit to the civil rights landmark.

In celebration of NYC Pride, we revisit The Stonewall Portraits, which gathered members of the theatre community to The Stonewall Inn—the site of the June 28, 1969, uprising that ignited the modern LGBTQ+ Rights Movement.

The photographs commemorate The Stonewall Inn’s designation as a National Historic Landmark, making it the first LGBTQ establishment in U.S. history to receive this distinction.

The exclusive portrait series was shot by photographer Eric McNatt.
