June 23, 2015, the Stonewall Inn became a New York City Landmark, making it the city's first landmark to commemorate LGBT rights.
On June 24, 2016, President Barack Obama officially dedicated the Stonewall National Monument, the first U.S. national monument for LGBT history. The dedication came just two weeks after the Orlando nightclub shooting, which took the lives of 49 people.
In October 2017, a rainbow LGBT flag was raised on the monument.
