The organization works to support LGBTQ+ candidates, influence party policy, and mobilize LGBTQ+ voters in support of Democratic candidates at all levels of government.

History

[edit]

The original Stonewall Democrats was founded in 1999 as a national LGBTQ+ political advocacy group affiliated with the Democratic Party. It served as a coalition of local and state-based LGBTQ+ Democratic organizations, working to advance LGBTQ+ rights through Democratic Party structures. Following a period of inactivity, efforts to revitalize the organization culminated in the formation of the National Federation of Stonewall Democrats in 2025. Unlike its predecessor, the organization was structured as a federation of independent state and local Stonewall Democratic organizations, ensuring regional representation while maintaining national coordination. The relaunch of the organization has been widely reported, with media outlets noting its role in the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights within the Democratic Party.Politico: "Stonewall Democrats address trans issues".[1]LGBTQ Nation: "LGBTQ activists revive Stonewall Democrats"[2]

The federation's relaunch was highlighted by Politico in January 2025 as part of a broader resurgence of LGBTQ+ advocacy within Democratic circles.[1]
