New York City officials have been accused of ignoring a proposal for a Black Trans Lives Matter mural outside the historic Stonewall Inn.
The mural, which would depict trans and rainbow flags, was proposed by the non-profit Black Trans Nation and backed by out gay state senator Brad Hoylman and state assembly members Dan Quart and Catalina Cruz.

But shortly after she moved here, in June 2018, she stepped briefly outside of the Bronx shelter near Monroe Avenue she was living in at the time to have a cigarette. Then, she alleges, two cops pulled up and beckoned her. When she walked over to them, she says, they accused her of soliciting sex and then told her they would arrest her on New York State penal code section 240.37 unless she gave them oral sex. Which she did, she says, not wanting to go to
