On behalf of GENVAS (Generation Venetian Arts Society) and me personally, heartfelt congratulations to the illusitrious honorees, as well as to Robert Kesten and the entire Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library team for the tremendous success of the inaugural Stonewall Honors last evening.
Your combined leadership and commitment remind us that progress is built by individuals who work tirelessly—often behind the scenes—to create a more just, inclusive, and compassionate world.
For decades, Stonewall has preserved our history, safeguarded our stories, and ensured that the courage and contributions of LGBTQ+ pioneers are never forgotten. Last night's celebration beautifully honored those whose dedication, vision, and service continue to strengthen our community and inspire future generations.
