"Thousands signed a petition against the film, claiming based solely on the first trailer that veterans of the riots like Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera have been 'airbrushed' out of the centre of the story in favour of a fictional gay man.
None of the critics had seen the film at the time the boycott was launched, and both director Roland Emmerich and star Jeremy Irvine insisted the final product was diverse and representative. "

Haven't seen the film so I shouldn't comment, but all the trailer shows is a bit part relegated to a major player. I could be totally wrong though and the movie could be great.
