Lawmakers have approved legislation that would rename a New York City subway station in honor of the Stonewall riots. The state Legislature approved a bill Wednesday that would change the name of the Christopher Street-Sheridan Square subway station in Greenwich Village to the Christopher Street-Stonewall National Monument Station. The bill now heads to Gov. Kathy Hochul for her approval. Her office did not comment Sunday. The Stonewall Inn was raided by police in June 1969, sparking a riot and several days of protests. It marked a seminal moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the country.
