New York City’s NBC affiliate reports:
President Joe Biden traveled to New York City on Friday where he visited the Stonewall Inn to mark the 55th anniversary of the riots. Biden, along with the first lady, visited for the opening day of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, where music and plenty of hope was on full display.
The president was joined at the new visitor center by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and other democratic leaders. He told the cheering crowd, “its your love for each other and your community that brought this center to life.”
Legendary singer, songwriter and pianist Elton John was also in attendance for the ceremony. “I can say as a proud English, gay man, that this is one of the greatest honors of my life to be here today,” he said. “The fight for freedom and equality is an ongoing one.”

55 years after Stonewall, we continue the fight for LGBTQI+ equality together. Pride is a declaration: That we will not be silenced. That we will show up for ourselves, for each other, and for the country we deserve.
I love you. President Biden loves you.
