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.

“Reparations-H”
Thank you! Best Fathers Day gift yet! LOL!
It was never about what two consenting adults do behind closed doors. That was the Trojan horse narrative that was used to get us in the current state of affairs.
Just another lowlife, parasitic ‘special interest group’ of subhumans, looking for time at the US Taxpayers’ Money Trough.
“Let me get this ‘straight’.” Intentional or not. :-)
Imagine being raised by two dads while seeing your friend's loving mothers attend to them. Imagine being raised by two lesbians and watching the neighbor kids doing a project with their dad.
Kids know very well what they are missing.
Good catch.
“Let them eat cake”
Let them eat d*cks.
A new F-150 would be a good downpayment.;-)
And my Yankee cousins want reparations for having to come fight us when neither one of us knew what the hell we were fighting for.
I didn't own any slaves and, at that age, they were mostly interested in girls and weren't really sure what this slavery thing was all about.
They want Subarus BTW.
Free Gerbils.
Used to be that these people only wanted recognition.
Now they are shoving it down our throats and our childrens throats.
I raised the kids that are going to pay for their social security I don’t think so
Free sex toys for everyone!
Joe Biden, pick up your phone.
Hahahaha...
Reparations lolololololol .. for fruits!
I propose we grant them reparations in the form of a big sign that says “GET F___ED”!
No doubt here comes the Democrat do nothing, policy free, pandering putzes vying for a nomination to become President soon following.
Honk honk!
Homosexuality is a crime and should be treated as such.
Jesus said to love thy neighbor they are not my neighbors.
Jesus said love your enemies, they are not my enemies, not liking
them does not make them my enemies.
The latest installment in the war on everybody.
