Miriana Supports Trans Community With Stonewall Outfit

Miriana Conte unveiled a new outfit, inspired by the 1960’s Stonewall Riots, which saw LGBTQ+ people fighting back against government sponsored persecution.

‘We are unity, we are unstoppable’, wrote Miriana as she posed in the fit, which includes newspaper articles detailing the events that transpired.

‘My dress is to show unity and to stand with my trans+ sisters, brothers, and siblings, now more than ever’, wrote Miriana.

‘We have always been here and always will be. It may seem heavy, but we will keep moving forward, together.’

The Stonewall riots were spontaneous protests against a police raid at the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 1969.

Though not the first LGBTQ resistance, they marked a turning point for the gay rights movement in the U.S. and globally. In the 1950s and 1960s, American LGBTQ individuals faced harsh legal discrimination.

Early advocacy groups promoted quiet assimilation, but by the late 1960s, broader social movements and the progressive atmosphere of Greenwich Village helped spark more confrontational activism.

The riots became a powerful symbol of LGBTQ resistance and the start of a more visible fight for equal rights.
