Obama Tells Gay Community to Respect Choice of Warren at Inauguration

FAT CHANCE!

Hey Obama! How is this CHANGE? Remember Anita Bryant? She stirred up the fury and wrath of the LGBTQ Community which became the touchstone of the late 70’s movement. After Campaigning With Your ‘Ex-Gay’ McClurkin, this is the first post-election disappointment of which I was expecting.

Perhaps it’s time to take our anger to DC and rain on the Inauguration. Let’s move the Day Without a Gay Day to January 20, 2009!

The first pleasure cruise in the history of the Amsterdam canals took place in 1621 when Queen Elisabeth Stuart of Bohemia was welcomed into the city in a parade of festively decorated admiralty sloops, with thousands of Amsterdammers cheering on bridges and canal-sides. Treating visiting royals and other VIP’s to a cruise on our canals became a tradition that lives on till today. From Winston Churchill to the Beatles and Nelson Mandela, almost all our famous guests have made their acquaintance with the city from the deck of a canal cruise boat. Rondvaart – Canal Cruises
