Director Roland Emmerich has refuted claims of whitewashing in Stonewall, the dramatisation of the historic 1969 LGBT riots.
Yet, Emmerich followed the statement up with, “Stonewall was a white event, let’s be honest.
However, a recent interview with the Guardian doesn’t appear to put Emmerich’s claims of diversity within his film in a particularly favourable light.
Others argue the film does feature a well-represented and diverse cast of LGBT characters, and does not omit the likes of crucial figures such as Marsha P. Johnson.
