Just as NYC Pride festivities got underway, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had some timely news on Sunday: The artist Anthony Goicolea had been chosen to design the first official monument to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people commissioned by the State of New York.
On June 26, 2016, after the attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., that left 49 people dead, Governor Cuomo formed the LGBT Memorial Commission to honor the fight for equal rights and remember victims of hate, intolerance and violence. A request for designs for the new memorial went out in October. It is to be built in Hudson River Park near the waterfront piers that have played a key role in the city’s history as both a meeting place and a haven for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
In Mr. Goicolea’s design, the monument takes the form of nine boulders, some bisected with glass that acts as a prism and can emit a subtle rainbow.
“From Stonewall to marriage equality, New York has always been a beacon for justice,” Governor Cuomo said in a statement. “I am now proud to announce Anthony Goicolea’s stunning design for this monument — selected for the way it complements the landscape and communicates a timeless message of inclusion.”

Considering we’re 180 from our Constitutional founding (protecting the minority from the majority), I’d say that’s to be expected.
Comment removed so JimRob don’t have to remove comment. I have a good reply, but I’m not going to say what I’m thinking.
I agree but I was talking about pushing leftist or perverted actions from a minority of citizens on to the majority that might not be in agreement.
Is this genuine, and if so, where?

I believe I concurred w/ your statement, FRiend. (180 from our Founding....minority over the majority); perversion or no.
Yes. Its on the city hall tower in Cologne, Germany. Its a Medieval gargoyle. Google it.
