'We Are All Opposing the Same Man': Thousands Protest Trump at Stonewall Inn

"I feel like all of our rights are at stake. Not just mine—everybody's."

The massive show of resistance to the ban was quickly followed by continued peaceful protests around the country, as well as locally in Battery ParkTompkins Square Park, and Borough Hall.
