On June 28, 1969, patrons at a gay bar in New York City's West Village neighborhood decided they had finally had enough after yet another police raid.
As the NYPD attempted to enforce a law making it illegal to serve alcohol to "homosexuals," the resistance of the bar patrons turned into an uprising - the Stonewall Uprising - an event now widely credited with sparking the modern LGBTQ rights movement in the U.S.
Now, nearly 50 years later, that same location - where members of the community stood up to government injustice - has been designated a new national monument by the President of the United States.
"Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights," President Obama said in a YouTube video released by the White House Thursday. "I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country - the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger together, that out of many, we are one."

Tim Gill, co-chair of Gill Foundation, which partnered with the National Park Service to help identify historical places of importance to the LGBTQ community, shared Segal's sentiments.
"LGBT history is American history, and it's vital for our stories to be told and retold and remembered," said Gill. "The designation of Stonewall today helps to ensure that legacy for generations to come."

The new Stonewall National Monument includes nearly 8 acres of land, including the Stonewall Inn, Christopher Park and the surrounding streets and sidewalks that were part of the 1969 uprising.
Under President Obama, a number of LGBTQ sites have been designated as National Historic Landmarks or listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Dr. Franklin E. Kameny Residence in Washington, D.C. and the Bayard Rustin Residence in New York City.

The true story is that this club was a Mob front and leftists rewrote history to change it into a homo “rights” agenda.
Obama will donate his old dresses
In Obama’s eyes a gay bar is the same as Minuteman National Park. What a stain he is.
Now this is important! he is a national disgrace
Please, DJT, undo this.
Will they drill waist-high holes in it ?
How many thousands of Gender Neutral hours did the White House waste to find this place ?
How about a wall with the names of all the homos who died of AIDS contracted at this hellhole of a bar.
good grief!
does our sodomite in chief ever sleep!!!!!????
“Mommy, why do the bathroom stalls have holes in them? You can see right through them!”
“Never mind,dear.”
Is he Muslim or is he gay?
Or is he a gay Muslim!
Maybe he’ll throw himself off the roof...
Will Reggie Love be at the dedication?? Probably.
That and Club 54.
OK I ran across this video several weeks ago.
I have been a FReeper for quite a while, but I haven’t seen this on this site before. I do not know if there is anything about this video which is true, but it has over four million views, and watching it sort of made me do a double-take.
Again I do not know whether there is anything to this, but Obama does seem to be pretty darned concerned with this gender confusion agenda.

“Michelle Obama a Man?”
Just enjoy. Mods feel free to nuke this, if you object.
Thanks.
In less than 50 years, the US will unveil pedophile and bestiality national parks.
Will the monument be shaped like a ‘body part’?
