Other countries are taking steps to atone for their shameful past treatment of L.G.B.T. people. The United States should too.
The New York Police Department apologized last week to the gay community for the 1969 raid of the Stonewall Inn, the fallout of which is widely credited with spurring the contemporary gay rights movement at home and abroad. Timed to coincide with Stonewalls 50th anniversary, the statement by Commissioner James P. ONeill said in part: The actions taken by the N.Y.P.D. were wrong plain and simple and the actions and the laws were discriminatory and oppressive, and for that, I apologize. The apology is the culmination of a decades-old struggle by gay activists for recognition of wrongdoing on the part of the police one that few activists thought could ever become a reality.
With the surprise apology, the United States has taken its most significant leap yet into gay reparation, or policies intended to address the legacy of state-sanctioned repression of homosexuals. Although relatively new to the United States, gay reparation has been debated and legislated around the world for close to two decades and is a logical progression in the maturation of the gay rights movement. Having largely secured rights once thought to be virtually unattainable especially same-sex marriage gay activists, especially in Western democracies, are turning their attention to addressing the historical legacies of homosexual repression.

Not now, Joe. Her husband is looking dead at you.
You can’t keep saying “Are you wearing Persian Wool perfume today? That fragrance drives me bananas!”
I agree. . .if everyone would keep their eyes on Jesus, we wouldn't be in this mess.
I want reparations for all the time wasted by the fake news MSM. Class action anyone?
Reparation has the root meaning of repaired, like reparative therapy. If that’s what it means, we may have something here.
Eventually we’ll be making repartations to all those who have been forced to make reparations. Then the circle will be complete.
“...redheads? Do they deserve reparations too?”
Biden cant get gay reparations from his groping
Don’t forget the gay “martyr,” Harvey Milk. He was simply a Vic Morrow award* winner. Milk wasn’t a target, Dan White was after Mayor George Moscone. If Milk had hunkered down in his office, he would have probably lived through it all.
*Exact wrong place, exact wrong time.
Would bisexual men only get half?
Where is the fun in that?
Sheer stupidity itself is surely on their list. Just wait long enough.
There are laws that would have us arrested if my Wife and I, did certain acts in public or a in public space.
Note: My Wife would frown upon the suggestion of such acts in public.
Yes, bisexual men and women will have to pay back half their reparations. Unless they can prove they spent more than 75% of their sexual energy on same sex attractions.
Also, gay people who were unsuccessful in relationships will get no reparations. They become eligible for the Rodney Dangerfield Certificate, however.
Exactly this is Rich
Hey Im gay ! give me some money
No no I didnt being homosexual -I just meant that Im happy! Lol
I read somewhere there was a huge chicken hawk presence there, which played a large part of the police crackdown.
I’m willing to pay “reparations” to anyone who wants to leave the US for good, and on no other terms.
Of course I don’t call it reparations, I call it paying a-holes to go away. A couple grand and a one-way ticket to some third world turdbucket is a cheap price to get rid of a Democrat voter.
Id bet hard currency on that fact. If the left wants to dig up the past (eg Central Park rapist scum), lets take a close look at the evidence & convictions.
;^)
Great idea! They can practice Saudi Arabia's unique form of "Parkour," where gay people get to jump off huge buildings!
Really, Parkour, according to WikiPedia-
"Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible."
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!
Nah, it's just another fag. LMAO!!!!
What a coward you are!
