The White House is considering creating a monument to honor the gay right movement in Greenwich Village, New York.

It will be placed across the street from the Stonewall Inn, where the 1969 uprising helped inspire the push for equality according to advocates.

As reported by the New York Times there will be a listening session next week in New York. At that time supporters of the park will make their case.

Kristen Brengel, vice president for government affairs at the National Parks Conservation Association said:

We are excited about this, and we do think that the president should move forward on it.

White House officials have said no official decision was made but acknowledges President Obama has the power to create national monuments.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said:

Whether it is the right to marry the person you love, or the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ we’ve come so far in the push for equal rights. It’s past due for a national monument honoring the legacy and events that took place at Stonewall and the L.G.B.T. right movement in our country.
