The U.S. National Park Service will begin marking sites of significance to the history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender movement, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior announced at the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan. (May 30)

U.S. Park Service to Mark Historic LGBT Sites

Great news! Couldn't think of a better time than now to honor and recognize these historic sights.
 
The whole Executive branch of the federal government has gone gay.

What's next, rainbow crosswalks ? Glory holes in all of the parks restroom toilet stalls ?

Classy as always.

I see absolutely no problem with this.

Ohhh Apacherat. Do rainbow crosswalks scare you? Do only the LGBT community use glory holes? And why would the federal government recognizing these sites lead to "glory holes in all of the parks restroom toilet stalls"?

You know, slippery slope and all. People marrying their dogs, mass hysteria.

And you probably had no problem with LGBT political activist being allowed to set up political booths on military bases and drag queens performing on military bases.

But you would be screaming bloody murder if the NRA was allowed to set up a booth on a military base and Ted Nugent was performing for the troops.

The Obama administration has politicized our national parks. Next thing you know the Park Service Rangers will have SWATT teams. You watch.

Nope.

Nope. Ted Nugent's played USO shows before. WTF do I care?

Oh god, here we go. Anything that recognizes the battle for gay rights is "politicizing it." You're too much sometimes.

Why should we? Arent we a free country? You know equal under the law and all?

Nope. Not at all.

Pshhhh.. Didnt the GOP do this? Rep. Randy Neugebauer's Shutdown Tirade - NowThis News
Give me a break.

For over 230 years the U.S. military remained out of politics. No political party, activist groups, etc. were never allowed to participate in political activities on a military installation until this current administration.

It seems every Executive branch of government has become politicized including the military and IRS.

All equal under the law ??? Are you going to be like Kobie and have no problem if the KKK sets up a booth on a military base ?

When one group is given special privileges and special protections that the majority are denied, what's equal about that ?

How did we jump to the KKK all of a sudden? Holy strawman.

A nationalist showing up to "pump the troops up" isnt "political"?


Please answer this question: And why would the federal government recognizing these sites lead to "glory holes in all of the parks restroom toilet stalls"?

Some people don't like America for what it is, but I know of no place on earth where it's all straight white middle aged males only.

One could buy an island somewhere and make it a str8 middle aged men's club only I suppose.

Look at what just happened on the "Rock." Some Colonel mentioned to a gay officer that he was acting gay and the Colonel was purged from the military.

I thought being able to come out of the closet with repealing DADT was all about acting gay. So now they don't want to be noticed.

I wish they would make up their minds.

Forgive me if I don't take your word on this one.

I doubt it, NOW and the ACLU would be demanding that membership be opened to women.

You're just not well informed.

I can understand that, you might feel uncomfortable down there.

APACHE, you're pretty well known for playing fast and loose with facts. So, :citation needed:

Just keep going further down the forums but stay out of the basement.

If you can't accomplish that, try googling.

Or you could try actually citing your claims.
