The Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library will honor entrepreneur Tristan Schukraft and posthumously induct Edie Windsor, referred to as the "Mother of Marriage Equality," at a gala on March 1, 2025. Schukraft is recognized for significant contributions, including building LGBTQ+ businesses and preserving iconic spaces. Windsor's legacy is highlighted through her pivotal Supreme Court case that led to federal recognition of same-sex marriage. The gala will feature a traveling exhibit in her honor, and her widow will accept the award on her behalf, underscoring the impact of both figures on LGBTQ+ rights.
"He has invested heavily in the community's future success through his creation of LGBTQ+ businesses, as well as preserved the community's artistic culture by ensuring our community's iconic spaces are protected."
"Few were as small in stature as Edie Windsor. Few made as big a difference to America."
