•  Info This is the Stonewall Inn, a landmark of the gay rights movement due to the Stonewall Riots. This photo was taken the day after it was formally designated a National Monument. It is also the end of Pride month (which began to commemorate the riots). Front-and-center, however, is a memorial to the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting. I've debated nominating a photo from this set for years. It's just such a powerful moment in time when people were celebrating and grieving. In hindsight, there are lots of things I wish I had done differently with the photo. Technically, it's not my best, but the subject is worth a nomination, so I went back and tried to fix some of the issues and giving it a chance. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  23:30, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Valuable and FP-worthy. Photos of documentary and contemporary nature, unfortunately, rarely find their way to FPC. -- Radomianin (talk) 23:41, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, you're right, it's not your best. Just because this cluttered photo is woke and politically correct doesn't make it an FP. Seven Pandas (talk) 01:27, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
  • It's documentation of a confluence of historic events. That it happens to be the history of gay rights apparently means you can dismiss its significance as ... "just ... woke and politically correct"? You could just say you don't think it's technically good enough rather than insult the subject. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  01:49, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • It's definitely not technically good enough and it shouldn't be promoted just because it's documentary, that's saying documentation trumps quality which I vehemently disagree with.Seven Pandas (talk) 02:00, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

• That's different from saying a photo of a memorial to dozens of gay murder victims is merely "woke" and "politically correct." -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:42, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Historically important, colorful, well composed --Kritzolina (talk) 07:56, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak support I won't say there's no room for improvement in this. But this kind of ad-hoc memorial where people bring flowers and candles tends to look quite messy on pictures. This photograph, however, manages that chaos unusually well: flowers at the bottom; posters in the center, framed by the brick wall. Another problem with this kind of memorial is, that they mostly look the same until you zoom in and decipher the text on the signs. But this one has the pub's neon sign right in the center, making this a non-issue. -El Grafo (talk) 10:07, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
•  Support As a free educational media repository, an image with high documentary value should be highly prized. I can see this image being used while many of our technically perfect images of churches or birds are unloved. Strong political images are valuable regardless of whether one agrees with the political message. I find it distasteful to see culture-war language being used above. Please can we keep Commons neutral and out of the culture wars. -- Colin (talk) 10:40, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
  • • @Colin: you got a lot of gall talking about distasteful conduct on commons. I still think it's a cluttered poor photo that does not warrant FP. The rules here are as firm as a marshmellow, so I'm leaving commons. Seven Pandas (talk) 23:01, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

• Since you prefer to act indignant as if you're a victim than to apologize, my wish is for you not to let the door hit you on the way out. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:00, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Weak support Very good composition, though indeed quality is not quite there. --A.Savin 00:20, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

  I'd like to add: There is a "Stop the Hate" sign, I just hope that for the uttermost of us on Commons, it's less of political correct, but more like... self-evident. Regards --A.Savin 00:30, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Support I'm usually one of the first to oppose on the basis of an image being too busy, but here that's the point, and it's well framed. Daniel Case (talk) 22:00, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
