The Case for Gay Reparation

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.

The moment a queer comes out of the closet, they should be castrated. Millions of young boys will be made safe by that move.

Every homo gets $10 billion from the federal government, a new car, and a nice new condo in San Franhomo.

And in some other countries, they are being tossed off roof tops. Some activists should go there and speak out. I’m sure the u.n. would stand behind....... Oh, well you know.

Every appointed ‘human rights council’ is a homofadcist ‘gay mafia’ and they use that term in hushed tones themselves.

But think about this in the meta. If this were Obama, he'd be there out and about and would have read that kow-tow himself. Hell, he would have wrote it, having the personal experience at both ends.

Hillary would have sent Snoofus (Kaine) to read it.

But Trump has that kind of kabuki set to "ignore". Yet...NYPD reads it, and the humps there go home happy or whatever LMNOP.

But if NO ONE read it, then the unicorns would be, well, not "angry" but throwing shade. Ergo, treat them like a sad mushroom: read to them in the dark and keep 'em covered in shit.

I am good with reparations if gays will first pay what the spread of AIDS cost us.

[a fool in paradise]

Homosexuals certainly would not be out in schools, libraries, and Disney grooming children to be drag queens or promiscuous minors encouraged to ‘experiment’ with anal sex.

A pox on the medical, psychiatric & clergy for not condemning this aberrant behavior.

Gay Reparations = Sodom & Gomorrah

Gay reparations for the hemophiliacs, half of whom were killed by HIV laced donated clotting factors in the 80s.

[gundog]

That one did hurt. :)

[ronnie raygun]

I want reparations for being white

[onedoug]

Eff homos and muslims! Now and forever. There is no repentance for the truly perverse.

[Jolla]

The United States should too.

Gay marriage, gays in military, men competing against women, men in girls bathrooms, required gradeschool indoctrination.... I do now want to imagine what more they want?

[golux]

I will self censor and not tell them where they can stuff those reparations.



Puh-leeeze! Don't censor! Don't Censor!

Tell me where you wanna stuff them! I love it when you talk dirty!

Gimme my money, suckers...

Add it to the trillions for that preventable AIDS thingy!

I wonder if anyone at the Slimes ever looks at what’s scheduled to be printed in the next day’s edition and say “Good God Almighty!”

[Tallguy]

The NYPD was obligated to enforce the laws as they existed in 1969. Why should today’s NYPD have to ‘apologize’. That would be like me asking the decendant of a slave holder for an apology — oh wait.

The re-writing of history to advantage certain formerly disadvantaged groups continues.

I mentioned on FB where the homos can stuff their “pride flag pole “ but then they might just get a thrill walking around looking like a rainbow flag pop cicle.
