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 Stonewall’s 50th anniversary, the statement by Commissioner James P. O’Neill 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.

Guess again, Petunia.
I recall my friends and I had organized a Left Handers club, during High school. RESIST!!!
Reparations, like taxation, is just a euphemism for theft.

Weren’t they deemed the wealthier among us, more disposable income since there’s no family to support?
This is just stupid shit. You make bad choices its on you and no one else. Piss off!
I hear you,bro- Lefty!
Diamond encrusted platinum felching straws for all
Then let the NYPD pay for it.
Leave me out of it.
Vic Morrow award?
I might have been the only left handed person in my school for the best part of k-12.
The school bureaucrats hated me since say one. Left handedness was at least one reason.
With just you or with everyone? 😋
Happy Father's Day...
This is a great development. The more wacko fringe groups demand that we “normals” pay reparations, the less likely that any group will be taken seriously. (H/T to KS on “normals.”)
Not just ‘No,’ but HELL NO!
This reparations garbage is simply opening more and more cans of reparations BS.
LMAO!
Best chuckle I’ve had all weekend!
Thx.

Reparations = New Scam for Free Stuff
Then the ruling oligarchy will control EVERYBODY! and can relax in luxury like the ruling monsters of any totalitarian nation--from imperial Rome to North Korea to Stalin's Russia to Hitler's Third Reich to Pol Pot's....well...you get the idea; it's obvious.
So now they are turning into free loaders!
