The shape of a triangle, Sheridan Sq isn't much more than a few park benches and some trees surrounded by an old-fashioned wrought-iron gate. But its location (in the heart of gay Greenwich Village) has meant that it has witnessed every rally, demonstration and uprising that has contributed to New York's gay rights movement.
It also holds two sets of slender white statues: a male couple and a female couple, holding hands and talking. Known as Gay Liberation , they are a tribute to the normalcy of gay life.
