•HRES 464 IH 
Whereas this resolution may be cited as the ‘‘Original 
LGBTQ Pride Month Resolution of 2019’’; 
Whereas the Honorable Barney Frank, Member of Congress 
from 1981 to 2013, is recognized as an honorary cospon-
sor of this resolution; 
Whereas Members of this Congress support the rights, free-
doms, and equality of those who are lesbian, gay, bisex-
ual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ); 
Whereas, in the summer of 1963, Bayard Rustin organized 
the March on Washington as an openly gay African- 
American man; 
Whereas, in August of 1966, the ‘‘Screaming Queens’’ of the 
Gene Compton’s Cafeteria riot in the Tenderloin District 
of San Francisco were recorded as one of the first 
transgender riots that erupted after police harassment 
and continued as protestation against police brutality and 
improper policing of the LGBTQ community; 
Whereas those who took a stand for human rights and dig-
nity at the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 
1969, were pioneers of the LGBTQ movement, including 
two transgender women of color, Sylvia Rivera and Mar-
sha P. Johnson, who were brave visible leaders in the up-
rising at Stonewall Inn; 
Whereas the LGBTQ Stonewall and Compton’s Cafeteria 
protestors were subject to police harassment and invid-
ious discrimination based on sexual orientation and gen-
der identity; 
Whereas these decisive moments in history were followed by 
the creation of LGBTQ rights organizations in every 
major city in the United States within years of the 
uprisings;
