The nation’s first-ever memorial to gay military veterans will be placed in the “gay corner” of the historic Congressional Cemetery on Capitol Hill, home to the gravesites of senators, congressmen, Supreme Court justices and vice presidents.
In announcing the new memorial, cemetery President Paul K. Williams said the stone structure will be put close to “the ‘gay corner,’ thought to be the only LGBT cemetery section in the world.”
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Veterans Memorial Project and the cemetery announced the design this week. It consists of three black granite panels standing 11 feet high, 5 feet wide and 1 foot thick. Each of the three panels will have two of the six service emblems on them.
The site of the memorial is symbolic. It is near the gravesite of former Air Force sergeant Leonard Matlovich, a Bronze Star recipient, who came out on the cover of TIME magazine in 1975. He was discharged and later died of AIDS.

What a load of Cr#P - isn’t it enough to be honored as a veteran?
How perverted.
“It consists of three black granite panels standing 11 feet high, 5 feet wide and 1 foot thick. Each of the three panels will have two of the six service emblems on them.”
Hopefully, the woman that designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will take a sledgehammer to this in protest.
WHY are these freaks coddled so? Why? Is everyone gay? Am *I* gay? And if so, how gay am I?
*Rolleyes*
Is there anything left of this rotting corpse of a once great civilization, for them to desecrate? Just saying...
They want to honor and be remembered for their perversions
I remember bumper stickers that said...”WHEN I DIE BURY ME FACE DOWN SO THE WHOLE WORLD CAN KISS MY A$$!”
Now the LGBT section will have them do the same so their friends can stick...ah, never mind.
The rotting corpse is next
A lot of folks are turning over in their graves right now I would imagine.
Despicable.
“It consists of three black granite panels standing 11 feet high, 5 feet wide and 1 foot thick.”
Does it also have a roll of toilet paper on one panel and a commode in the center?
Separate but Equal! That will never stand. LOL
Haven’t seen it, but I think you aptly described it.
Political Correctness run amok.
Maybe they would consider being buried amongst their comrades, like everyone else, if the Defense dept. agreed to buy them tombstones shaped like the ‘male’ and ‘female’ symbols, since their sex organs seem to direct their lives in every way.
“Now the LGBT section will have them do the same so their friends can stick...ah, never mind.”
So they can park their bicycles.
More that got a job in dc and never left.
Those elected from a State should like it enough to be buried there in the state they came from.
