Repost (2015): Remember Stonewall

This is essentially a re-post of a post I have run the last few years, with some minor changes. We must remember our history and the giants whose shoulders we are standing on!

 

Let us always be proud and thankful to the trannies who finally had enough of the harassment and fought back 46 years ago on June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn. We owe you, guys and girls!

Read more on Wikipedia Stonewall riots.

Before Stonewall

• a person with homosexual inclinations was considered to be mentally ill, 
• a person taking part in homosexual sexual activity was considered to be a criminal, 
• a person suspected of being homosexual could be abused or harassed without risk of penalty - except in the most extreme cases, 
• a homosexual parent was considered unfit to take care of his/her own children, 
• Civil unions or same-sex marriages were unthinkable. etc., etc. 

All of us should always remember the gratitude we owe the trannies.

----
We must also remember that many of our sisters and brothers worldwide still on a daily basis live with the very real risk of

• being murdered, incarcerated, hospitalized, abused, raped and harassed
• losing custody of their children 
• losing their employment 

simply for being homosexual.

Joseph Nussbaum - SP Festival Photography

Joseph Nussbaum, one of the absolute best photographers in SecondLife, has been taking pictures at the Second Pride Festival this year, and turning them into pure works of art. The photos are posted to Joseph's timeline on Facebook, but so far I have not been able to find them anywhere else. 

Here are but a few of my present favorites.

SCOTUS 5-4: Marriage Equality in the US!

The Supreme Court of the United States today gave us their decision in the case of Obergefell et al. v. Hodges, Director, Ohio Department of Health, et al.

With a 5-4 majority decided, for a freedom to marry nationwide in the United States. (Kennedy delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, joined. Chief Justice Roberts filed a dissenting opinion as did Scalia, Thomas and Alito, the latter three also filing opinions in which one or more of the other dissenters joined.)

You can read the complete decision here: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf.

Happy Pride everyone and especially my sisters and brothers in the United States! The second largest democracy in the world has now accepted same-sex marriage!

Let's celebrate!

Bryan Fischer Blocks Bock on Twitter

"Bryan Fischer is the former Director of Issues Analysis for the American Family Association (AFA). He hosts the talk radio program Focal Point on American Family Radio and posts on the AFA-run blog Instant Analysis (formerly Rightly Concerned).

Fischer opposes abortion, national health care, gay adoption, and same-sex marriage. Fischer's comments about homosexuality caused the AFA to be designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in November 2010. To avoid being classified as a hate group, the AFA has officially repudiated Fisher's views on Muslims, Native Americans, Hispanics, African Americans, The Holocaust being caused by homosexuals, the outlawing of homosexuality, and that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian."

( From Wikipedia's two first paragraphs about this hate monger.)

I had forgotten I had visited this morons Twitter feed earlier. I must have left a comment he didn't quite appreciate, because now I am blocked. I feel honored!
