Obama Orders Creation Of America’s First-Ever National Monument To Sodomy
| by Geoffrey Grider |
President Obama is poised to declare the first-ever national monument recognizing the struggle for gay rights, singling out a sliver of green space and part of the surrounding Greenwich Village neighborhood as the birthplace of America’s modern gay liberation movement.
"For
this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women
did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And
likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error
which was meet." Romans 1:26,27 (KJV)
While most national monuments have
highlighted iconic wild landscapes or historic sites from centuries
ago, this reflects the country’s diversity of terrain and peoples in a
different vein: It would be the first national monument anchored by a
dive bar and surrounded by a warren of narrow streets that long has been
regarded the historic center of gay cultural life in New York City.
Federal
officials, including Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, National Park
Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), will hold a listening session on May 9 to solicit feedback on the proposal. Barring a last-minute complication — city officials are still investigating the history of the land title — Obama is prepared to designate the area part of the National Park Service as soon as next month, which commemorates gay pride.
Obama orders the National Parks Service to begin the process:
Interior
Secretary Sally Jewell at the Stonewall Inn, scene of the riots widely
credited with starting the modern gay rights movement, that the National
Park Service will begin marking sites of significance to the history of
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
Protests
at the site, which lasted for six days, began in the early morning of
June 28, 1969 after police raided the Stonewall Inn, which was
frequented by gay men. While patrons of the bar, which is still in
operation today in half of its original space, had complied in the past
with these crackdowns, that time it sparked a spontaneous riot by
bystanders and those who had been detained.
Although
national monument designations are partly symbolic, backers of the move
said it could bolster the fight against discrimination based on sexual
orientation and gender identity, which led to the landmark 2015 Supreme
Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage.
“We
must ensure that we never forget the legacy of Stonewall, the history
of discrimination against the LGBT community, or the impassioned
individuals who have fought to overcome it,” Nadler, who has co-authored
legislation that would make it a national park, said in a statement.
“The LGBT civil rights movement launched at Stonewall is woven into
American history, and it is time our National Park system reflected that
reality.”
The president described Stonewall as a critical event in the nation’s social progressduring
his second inaugural speech, reflecting the idea “that all of us are
created equal,” and alluded to it again when celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the march on Selma, Ala.
Interior
Department spokeswoman Amanda Degroff said Obama “has made clear that
he’s committed to ensuring our national parks, monuments and public
lands help Americans better understand the places and stories that make
this nation great” — though at the moment the administration has no
official announcement on the designation. source

Top Christian topples Obama's 'monument to sin'
Started by Robert M
Barack Obama just pulled another surprise out his hat as he bends over backward to "glorify sin."
And now, one of the most influential names in Christianity is taking aim at this latest example of how far America has fallen ...
Franklin Graham decries Obama's 'monument to sin'
The Stonewall Inn in New York City
Rev.
Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association and of the international aid organization, Samaritan’s
Purse, took to Facebook Friday
to issue a strong condemnation against President Obama’s plans to
declare a national monument in New York City in recognition of the
“gay”-rights struggle.
“A
monument to sin? That’s unbelievable,” Graham wrote, of the Obama
administration’s announced plans to declare the nation’s first
“gay”-rights monument at a Greenwich Village spot loosely known as the
birthplace of the LGBT liberation movement, as WND previously reported.
The
spot, Stonewall Inn, was a noted “gay” bar and hang-out area that was
the site of violent 1969 protests against police intervention.
Just
days ago, the Obama administration announced an intent to declare the
area a taxpayer-funded historical national monument, under the umbrella
of National Parks Service oversight.
How did America get from “Mayberry” to “gay marriage?” Here’s the explanation, in “A Queer Thing Happened to America: And What a Long, Strange Trip I...
Graham slammed the plan, calling it a smack in the face of others who were much more worthy of the recognition.
“War
heroes deserve a monument,” he wrote. “Our nation’s Founding Fathers
deserve a monument, people who helped to make America strong deserve a
monument – but a monument to sin?”
Graham also said such a monument only shows how far the nation has fallen from its Judeo-Christian start, and from God.
“It’s
no surprise that the three officials who represent the area and support
the monument are all openly gay,” Graham wrote. “I can’t believe how
far our country has digressed. I hope that the president will
reconsider. Flaunting sin is a dangerous move. God’s Word tells us,
‘Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.'”
