New York’s Stonewall Inn, gay landmark, poised for historical status
The Stonewall Inn, the bar considered the birthplace of the U.S. gay rights movement, could move a step closer to historical status on Tuesday after a meeting of New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission.
The commission will decide whether to add the Greenwich Village gay bar, the site of 1969 riots in response to a police raid, to its calendar of public hearings. That typically is the first step to a property securing landmark status, said Damaris Olivo, a spokeswoman for the commission.

All of this site designation stuff started when Chicago decided to put a plaque at the spot where Michelle Obama agreed to be Barack Obama’s beard.
YAAAAA SODOMY!!!111!!1!
Good gravy! I had forgotten about that disgusting plaque dedicated to daWon’s cult.
Thanks a bunch! *sigh*
Someone should propose the site for an islamic center. Or maybe a Planned
InfanticideParenthood clinic.I’ll pop some popcorn and watch the “heads exploding” sequence!
So now we’re building monuments to honor places where homosexuals fuck suck infect one another…
Holy shit. No pun intended. We’re doomed.
Someone ought to give that developer in San Diego an award or something!
Smooth move!
Normally I enjoy my (usually) daily visits to IOTW, but the sum of the recent news reminds me of a scene from It’s A Wonderful Life.
Yes, Clarence. A man down on earth needs our help.
Splendid! Is he sick?
No. Worse. He’s discouraged.
I am. I’m discouraged. This country seems to me to be in a cultural and economic and spiritual free-fall. We’ve lost our collective compass, and things are unspooling so quickly that I don’t know if we have the time or the wherewithal to even stop it.
The people I encounter in business and on the roads and in the stores are all angry assholes anymore, our politicians don’t even pay lip-service to representing us, let alone fighting for us and our country, and all the masses care about is this sickening Kardashian bullshit and all of its evil offspring and offshoots.
I try to add levity with my random brain droppings in the comments corral here, but it’s getting to me. I’ll snap out of it, sure. But the sickness in this land seems to really have a hold anymore. Nobody feels shame, or remorse, nobody has empathy, or discernment. And the rampant vapidity, the remorseless ignorance.
God, it’s scary.
I’m discouraged.
Any of you remember “The Anvil.” or “The Ramrod” on West Street in NYC?
They should be consecrated sites. One night some years ago the son of a Minister, a cop, went berserk in The Ramrod and
shot a couple of queers.
Chieffilincake: Take heart. This soon shall pass. I hope and pray. But I get your meaning.
Stonewall: Where good LGBT gay men whooped the NYPD’s butt.
Larry. Kissed, not “whooped” or whupped or whipped. Dummy.
I wonder if they’re thinking about stapling one of those Historic Landmark signs on Obama’s ASS.
Well said, @chiefillicake, well said.
How about the “poop deck’ on the USS Husquvarna????
“…I kissed her and it tasted like chocolate”. Awww.
(I’m assuming that “chocolate” was a euphemism here…)
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
They should put gay/lesbian landmarks right next to every mosque in America and let nature take its course.
Did anyone else catch the complete illiteracy of Obama’s quote?
The curb doubled as their dinner table, not the other way around.
Unless, of course, Michelle pissed on the dinner table.
“Did anyone else catch the complete illiteracy of Obama’s quote?
As opposed to what? Shit I’ll be shocked when he finally says something logical.
I’d rather have the psychologists go back to using DSM-1, which was written by sane people – unlike every version since.
Maybe they could do an AIDS museum. That would really highlight the homosexual community’s biggest contribution to society.
I think Larry is Mr. Pinko. But what do I know? LOL!
I designate msnbc.com as a gay site.
The idea of kissing Mooch is enough to knock a buzzard off a gut wagon.
amazing how close to the cliff this country is getting. Praying that God won’t let America fall into the abyss, despite how dedicated the left is to see America destroyed.
BTW, that moronic Mooch and Barry plaque needs a fix, “I kissed her and she tasted like tamales.”.
I once kissed the Blarney Stone. It tasted like stone. But hanging over the ledge of a Castle wall, my legs being held by local farmer with a tit job. was scary. It was two shillings well spent though, as I can now brag about it, and you barack, can’t. It is not a Gay site, yet.
“Birthplace” and “Gay” really don’t belong in the same sentence, or even the same story.
