NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission has voted to consider designating the Stonewall Inn a city landmark.

The commission voted unanimously Tuesday to add the property to its calendar.

Designation would grant recognition to a powerful symbol of the gay rights movement. The Greenwich Village tavern would be the first landmark honored specifically for its role in the city’s gay history.

A public hearing is set for June 23.
