Code Of Conduct
The Stonewall Inn is honored to be recognized as a Stonewall Inn Gives Back Safe Space—a designation that reflects our commitment to fostering an environment where LGBTQ+ culture, diversity, and community thrive. More than just a bar, The Stonewall Inn is a historic symbol of equality and inclusivity, a beacon for LGBTQ+ rights, and a welcoming space where everyone can feel safe, respected, and celebrated.
We encourage all guests to uphold our values by embracing a clear and compassionate code of conduct. This space is open to individuals of all identities and backgrounds, and it’s essential that everyone enters with a positive, respectful attitude toward one another. Whether you’re here for a night out, a community event, or to connect with friends, we ask that you honor and respect each individual’s uniqueness. This means embracing diversity in all its forms—respecting people regardless of their sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, religion (or lack thereof), nationality, ethnicity, age, ability, physical appearance, lifestyle, or any other characteristic.
To ensure a safe and inclusive environment, we enforce a zero-tolerance policy for harassment. This includes unwanted physical contact, intimidation, abuse, and discriminatory behavior or language, including homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, or any other form of bias. Respect for all identities and pronouns is essential, as we strive to create a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported.
If you witness any actions that may be abusive, threatening, harassing, or inappropriate, please notify a member of our Security team or Staff immediately. Our team is committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment and takes all reports of misconduct seriously.
Thank you for being part of The Stonewall Inn’s legacy and for contributing to a space where history, culture, and community come together in unity and respect. By embracing this code of conduct, you help preserve the spirit of inclusivity that defines The Stonewall Inn.
