It's time once more for....
38 years ago, in the early hours of a Saturday morning, at a bar in New York City, gay men and lesbians stood up and said ENOUGH to the police who had baselessly hassled and arrested them. They fought back against the authorities, for three nights over five days they did so, standing up for thier rights. This is what we now call the Stonewall Riots. And it marked the beginning of the gay rights movement.
So, today, on both HNT and the annivesary of Stonewall, I combine the two. I salute the gays and queer, dykes and fags, homos and lesbos that fought for the rights that i now take, more or less, for granted.

Super tribute to the men and women of Stonewall. They were some brave folks. They jeopardized everything, family job, and friends. We all need to remember it wasn't always like the show "Will and Grace."
now that is the way to hang the pride flag :D
