Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Happy Pride Month, everyone! In honor of that august occasion, Jesse Goldberg has crafted a puzzle revolving around 34A, Historic inn commemorated during Pride Month, as suggested by this puzzle's border answers, STONEWALL. Revolving is the operative word, as the top and bottom rows, and left and right columns were dedicated to 10, count 'em, 10 theme-related clues, all of which required STONE to be appended to the end of the answer -- 1A, Graveyard sight, HEAD[STONE], 47D, Quaint street material, COBBLE[STONE], etc.
Jean found the crossword to be about right for a Wednesday. Mike, meanwhile, flailed about in the bottom-left corner, almost done in by the heteronym-trap that was 39D, Attribute, ASCRIBE. Very sneaky, Jesse!
