The Internet Protests 'Stonewall' Trailer With Explosive Parody
Since the trailer for Stonewall was released, it has seen no shortage of controversy and critique.
The film, which tells the story of the iconic LGBT riots in New York, features a fictional white male lead. This has a lot of people upset because of the lack of non-cisgender characters and characters of colors.
People on Twitter are sharing their frustration with the #NotMyStonewall hashtag and one video parody blows up the new trailer.
