Plenty of people are riled up about Roland Emmerich’s new film Stonewall, which hits theaters this September. The general consensus is that the preview whitewashes gay history by centering around a Caucasian, cis-gender male rather than the trans people and people of color who were actually at the Stonewall Inn during the time of the 1969 riots.

Now, Brooklyn-based comedian Heather Dockray has remade the trailer to reflect people’s criticisms, as well as remixed it with some of Emmerich’s other blockbusters, including 2012, Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day After Tomorrow.

Watch the trailer below:
