Join us for the Stonewall 2026 Gala: Standing on the Shoulders of Heroes, a powerful evening celebrating the trailblazers who paved the way for LGBTQIA+ rights, visibility, and liberation. This year’s gala will once again pay tribute to heroes whose courage continues to shape our future. In past years, we’ve celebrated icons like Diana Nyad, Edie Windsor, and other transformative figures whose lives and work have inspired generations. The 2026 Gala continues this tradition—lifting up those whose courage and conviction have changed the world.
