At a White House reception held Friday evening in honor of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Pride month, President Barack Obama celebrated a 1969 anti-police riot that started in what the New York Times reports was an illegal Mafia-owned bar for transvestites.

“Now, each June since I took office, we have gathered to pay tribute to the generations of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans who devoted their lives to our most basic of ideals--equality not just for some, but for all,” Obama said.

“Together we’ve marked major milestones like the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, when a group of brave citizens held their ground against brutal discrimination,” said Obama. “Together, we’ve honored courageous pioneers who, decades ago, came out and spoke out; who challenged unjust laws and destructive prejudices. Together, we’ve stood resolute; unwavering in our commitment to advance this movement and to build a more perfect union.”

The “Stonewall Riot” that president Obama referred to started when police raided a New York City saloon called the “Stonewall Inn” that catered to transvestites. In a 2010 obituary for Seymour Pine, the police inspector who led the raid, the New York Times reported the basic facts of the incident, describing the inn as "an illegal club frequented by cross-dressers."

“The club, on Christopher Street near Seventh Avenue South, was owned by members of the Mafia,” the Times reported. “Inspector Pine later said he conducted the raid on orders from superiors.

“About 200 people were inside,” said the Times. “When the officers ordered them to line up and show identification, some refused. Several transvestites refused to submit to anatomical inspections. Word of the raid filtered into the street, and soon hundreds of protesters gathered outside, shouting ‘gay power’ and calling the police ‘pigs.’

“The turning point came when a lesbian fought with officers as she was pushed into a patrol car,” said the Times. “The crowd rushed the officers, who retreated into the club. Several people ripped out a parking meter and used it as a battering ram; others tried to set fire to the club. It took police reinforcements an hour and a half to clear the street.

“It was the start of several nights of rioting, during which the police used force to disperse crowds that sometimes numbered in the thousands,” said the Times. “Fewer than three dozen protesters were arrested, but hundreds were detained and released.”

At Friday's White House reception, Obama predicted the LGBT movement would achieve the additional goals it seeks--including waht he called "marriage equality"--because of what he perceives as their persuasiveness and the example they set.

"We’ll get there because of every man and woman and activist and ally who is moving us forward by the force of their moral arguments, but more importantly, by the force of their example," said Obama.

He's so hard up for support, he's pandering to the fuh-REAKS now?  These?

At this late hour, I despair.  I really do.

Yeah, our most basic ideals, like changing the English language for the worse.

A bundle of sticks now means a rump humper.  A royal lady is now a mincing poofter.  A happy ol' time light with frivolity is now same sex anything.

Shorthand for a part of a car engine is now a 'chick with a di*k'.

Meh.  The Left keeps telling us how gay "marriage" won't "change the language" without acknowledging how much teh gayz have changed it already.

They *think* if they keep pushing they'll get their way.  ::snort::   What they don't GET is people like me do not like being pushed; it just makes us more determined to, not just stand in place, but to push back.

They keep it up, they're going to find a reason to redecorate their freakin' closets.

GENERATIONS?

 

Don't you have to be able to procreate to create a generation?  The only thing these people create is deviancy.

(And I guess the Founding Fathers, Abe Lincoln and all the rest were twiddling their thumbs.)

A tacit admission that someone (cough!) is creating those generations...(cough!) breeders (cough!).
