Presidential GLBT Month

Presidential Proclamation of June as "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Month":

Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.
Pay attention America, if you are a protected class it is alright to operate illegal facilities (the Stonewall Inn was notoriously selling liquor without a license), it is alright to resist police when they arrive to enforce the law (as patrons and homosexuals in the neighborhood did), it is alright to rip up city property (parking meters), and to burn private property (the Stonewall Inn) and attempt murder (there were police barracaded inside). It is alright because you are a victim of injustice, somewhere, sometime, and some day a President will honor your victimhood and "civil disorbedience" with a presidential proclamation and special "victim class" status (still to come).

Holy Roman Martyrs Marcellinus and Peter pray for us, that we may be faithful as you were.
