Stonewall Democrats, also known in some states as LGBT Democrats, is a caucus within the Democratic Party that advocates for issues that are relevant to LGBTQ Americans. The caucus primarily operates through individual chapters or political clubs supporting LGBTQ rights and affiliated with the Democratic Party.
History
In 1971, Alice B. Toklas Memorial Democratic Club of San Francisco was the first registered LGBTQ Democratic club in the nation.
In 1975, the Stonewall Democratic Club was established in Los Angeles, California, the first 'Stonewall Democratic Club' in the country established for LGBTQ individuals and straight allies committed to achieving equality for all and to advancing progressive and feminist values through the Democratic Party.
National Stonewall Democratic Federation
The National Stonewall Democratic Federation was a national organization of LGBTQ Democratic clubs and individuals. It was founded on May 8–10, 1998, in Kansas City, Missouri. On January 1, 2013, National Stonewall Democratic Federation suspended operations due to a financial deficit of $30,000.
On January 17, 2025, a National Federation of Stonewall Democrats was organized by leaders of Stonewall Democratic clubs and caucuses in 21 states in response to the Second presidency of Donald Trump.
