First catch at the Memorial Glory Hole.

President Barack Obama created the first national monument to gay rights on Friday, designating the site of the Stonewall riots in Manhattan where the modern gay rights movement took root nearly five decades ago.
The Stonewall National Monument will be anchored by Christopher Park, a small park just across from the iconic Stonewall Inn tavern, and covers a 7.7 acre swath of Greenwhich Village where the uprising took place after police raided the gay bar in 1969. Obama said the monument would "tell the story of our struggle for LGBT rights" and of a civil rights movement that became a part of America.
"I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country: the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us," Obama said. "That we are stronger together, that out of many, we are one."
To herald the designation, a White House video with photos of the monument was to be played at noon Saturday on the billboards in Times Square just as New York's annual pride celebration is getting under way, the White House said. The declaration also comes as advocates celebrate the one-year anniversary on Sunday of the Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage nationwide.

faggot.
Unless it has anything to do with the south and the civil war
It is rich with the deepest irony. Why couldn’t these blokes have “Stonewalled” the Orlando jihadist.
The answer: their souls are not free.
I’m offended! I insist all Rainbow Flags be burned...or else!
So what is it? A giant phallic symbol with a couple kernels of corn dangling from it?
You have to wonder why Obama is so obsessed with sexual deviancy.
First catch at the Memorial Glory Hole.
That's a lie.
So, is POTUS Stompy Foot going to stop by and do the ceremonial wide stance toe-tapping in the little transgenders’ room stalls?
What happens in the bathrooms at Stonewall? Is it a tourist attraction for LGBT visitors???
I was going to link a picture of that-fountain-in-Amsterdam, but I figured I’d get permanently banned here.
So will tour buses in New York make sure to stop at Stonewall?
Good catch. This isn’t even TRUE.
"Ew, Reggie! I can't believe I just licked a SNAIL! Gross!"
What is gay rights, having more rights than anyone else?
And this declaration is in line with homosexual pride month, and celebrating the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision forcing homosexual marriage on all 50 states?
Off topic, but I’ve heard that only a small minority of homosexuals in relationships have bothered to get married.
That’s not a minority of all homosexual people, but a minority of homosexual people who claim to be in relationships at all. Very few are exercising this constitutional right to marriage to a same sex partner.
It makes you wonder about that. Why did liberals and the homosexual community fight so hard for a right which they don’t exercise once they won that battle???
Raid was probably the result of the local Chief of police and politicians not getting their cut of the take.
Now a national monument to a mafia owned building.
