CNSNews.com) - At a White House reception held Friday evening in honor of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Pride month, President Barack Obama celebrated a 1969 anti-police riot that started in what the New York Times reports was an illegal Mafia-owned bar for transvestites.
Now, each June since I took office, we have gathered to pay tribute to the generations of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans who devoted their lives to our most basic of ideals--equality not just for some, but for all, Obama said.
Together weve marked major milestones like the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, when a group of brave citizens held their ground against brutal discrimination, said Obama. Together, weve honored courageous pioneers who, decades ago, came out and spoke out; who challenged unjust laws and destructive prejudices. Together, weve stood resolute; unwavering in our commitment to advance this movement and to build a more perfect union.
The Stonewall Riot that president Obama referred to started when police raided a New York City saloon called the Stonewall Inn that catered to transvestites. In a 2010 obituary for Seymour Pine, the police inspector who led the raid, the New York Times reported the basic facts of the incident, describing the inn as "an illegal club frequented by cross-dressers."
The club, on Christopher Street near Seventh Avenue South, was owned by members of the Mafia, the Times reported. Inspector Pine later said he conducted the raid on orders from superiors.
About 200 people were inside, said the Times. When the officers ordered them to line up and show identification, some refused. Several transvestites refused to submit to anatomical inspections. Word of the raid filtered into the street, and soon hundreds of protesters gathered outside, shouting gay power and calling the police pigs.
The turning point came when a lesbian fought with officers as she was pushed into a patrol car, said the Times. The crowd rushed the officers, who retreated into the club. Several people ripped out a parking meter and used it as a battering ram; others tried to set fire to the club. It took police reinforcements an hour and a half to clear the street.
It was the start of several nights of rioting, during which the police used force to disperse crowds that sometimes numbered in the thousands, said the Times. Fewer than three dozen protesters were arrested, but hundreds were detained and released.
At Friday's White House reception, Obama predicted the LGBT movement would achieve the additional goals it seeks--including what he called "marriage equality"--because of what he perceives as their persuasiveness and the example they set.
"Well get there because of every man and woman and activist and ally who is moving us forward by the force of their moral arguments, but more importantly, by the force of their example," said Obama. [cns-donate]
Everything is a lever, a wedge to pry from us all that is good and right and true and has value. Obama is not the anti-Christ but he's damn close. Right is wrong up is down. He must go.
The so called "tolerance" of the left is anything but. The LGBT have repeatedly shown hatred, violence, intolerance, & bigotry toward anyone who disagrees with them.
The Nazi Party was founded in a gay bar. Values do matter. Worldview does matter. People who claim sodomy is Good-—are warped in all areas of character. A Vice which uses human beings in such an evil, demeaning, unnatural way, can never be “Good”. These people are devoid of character. To pretend that practicing homosexuals are “good” is like saying people who constantly do heroin are “good”. It is a sign of no self-mastery and inability to control or direct in a mature fashion, base urges. There is no character whatsoever.
Odious homosexual agenda-driven phony president!

Exactly.
Well, since he’s anti-police, mob-connected and probably a transvestite (at best) that makes a lot of sense.
Yep, the sodomites are a sick lot. See how they continue to infiltrate schools, scouts, and churches to seek the objects of their obsessive perversion. And who would have imagined they would have been permitted to buy/adopt other people’s kids. Not since ancient Rome have homos had access to so many children.
The police obviously acted stupidly.
NYPD went easy on all those queers at the Stonewall and thus caused then start of the Sodomite Agenda in America.
If NYPD had been serious about their work, the varment at the Stonewall would have been eradicated and their movement never born.
People eating poo-poo bump...
The big trouble in the end time is called the Beast, rather than “the” Antichrist (the latter of which there will be several, per 1 John 2:18); and apparently “that” Antichrist (as the King James translates it) is a figure within the church. Nobody can fight God and win.
Thanks IbJensen.
When is straight, monogamous, non-divorcing parents of normal, well-adjusted kids month?
If this guy gets re-elected you can sing the ole song “The day the music died.”
Russians sending warships to Syria and the FOTUS's first priority is getting asslaid by his butt buddies.
