It is time that black and brown transwomyn and drag queens are recognized for their efforts in the riots throughout the nation. From the preview alone, we know that will not be happening . Majority of characters casted are white actors, cis men play the role of transwomyn, and folks who began the riots do not seem to be credited with such revolutionary acts. 

WE ARE CALLING A BOYCOTT OF STONEWALL. Do not throw money at the capitalistic industry that fails to recognize true s/heros. Do not support a film that erases our history. Do not watch Stonewall.

It’s worth noting: the main character of this movie is fictional. He did not exist. They literally invented a white, cis character to be the face and leader of the Stonewall riots.

Instead of seeing Stonewall, please consider supporting Happy Birthday Marsha, a film project about transgender activist Marsha Johnson and her life right before the Stonewall Riots. Its made by people from the Sylvia Rivera Law Project and stars actual trans women of color.
