        site of the citizen uprising during June 28 through July 3,

            (2) the Stonewall uprising--

                        community; and
                            (ii) the perception and acceptance of LGBT 
                        individuals within the United States; and

                the struggle for LGBT civil rights; and
            (3) the Stonewall National Historic Landmark, within the
