Stonewall? Explaining Obama's Historic Gay-Rights Reference. (It was illegal
Posted: Jan 23, 2013
Okay, I was 17 when this happened, working the graveyard shift as a waitress in Harrah's Casino. My roommate and I didn't have a TV and her soon-to-be-ex-fiance was still proving, to himself at least, that he wasn't gay by bashing homosexuals every 20 minutes or so. So when President Obama mentioned this all I remembered, vaguely, was him ranting incessantly about this protest, without knowing a single thing about it. From NPR, and the link's to a really interesting story.
"President Obama made history in his inaugural address when he mentioned Stonewall in the same breath as Selma, the Alabama town considered the birthplace of the black-rights movement, and Seneca Falls, the upstate New York site of the first women's-rights convention.
But Obama's reference was very likely lost on many in the generations that have come of age long after gay men resisted police harassment at the Stonewall Inn gay bar in New York City.
Their five days of riots in the summer of 1969 kindled the nation's gay-rights movement, which Obama placed in the heart of the nation's civil rights struggles in Monday's speech. Obama said:
So, what was Stonewall?" [And did Jon ever reconcile his own reality with his political beliefs and religion?]

Do ILLEGAL Aliens Have Any Rights?Oct 14, 2010
Yes! The same as you and I. I've read the reports and the conflicting testimony from some of the prosecutor's witnesses were different. "Gomez" stated in one report that he was confronted was one of these two guys when a group of defense witnesses stated he was with them somewhere that night and no where near "Gomez" or his truck. Even their friends that turned against them because they were threatened to get the same consequences had some conflicting testimony. What these kids ...

Obama Lectures Kenyan President On Gay RightsJul 25, 2015
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta about his country's gay rights record. "When you start treating people differently not because of any harm they are doing to anybody, but because they are different, that's the path whereby freedoms begin to erode," Obama said at a joint press conference with the Kenyan leader in Nairobi. "And bad things happen." Under Kenyan law, sexual activity between men is illegal and punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 14 years. Obama equated lega ...

Obama Directs HHS To Establish Rules Ensuring Hospital Visitation Rights For Gay, Lesbian CouplesApr 15, 2010
President Obama has signed a memorandum directing the Department of Health and Human Services to establish rules that would bar hospitals from denying visitation rights to partners of gay and lesbian patients.

Hillary's Historic Nomination Isn't A Victory For Women, It's A BetrayalJun 13, 2016
