FAGGOT PARADE TODAY IN SEATTLE AND THE NATION

"When a country becomes this degenerate and twisted, a revolution is just around the corner." --- RONBO

JUNE IS PRIDE MONTH - celebrate LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER INTERSEX pride. On June 27, 1969, the New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar. For the first time in history, the patrons of the bar - many of whom were drag queens, young people of color - fought back, igniting days of rioting in Greenwich Village. Those riots, now referred to as The Stonewall Rebellion or The Stonewall Riots, are commemorated today in parades and festivals all over the world, usually in late June. They weren't the start of a GLBTI civil rights movement (it had been brewing for years with small, peaceful demonstrations) but they were the match that lit a fire for generations to come.
