History !!
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.
So begins an historical proclamation by the President of the United States, Barak Obama. You can read the whole proclamation here on the White House site.
Oh Yes, The times they are a-changin'.....
