Okay, you got me......
But people have lost their lives for loving someone of the same sex.....
I said the stonewall riots because that was the beginning (so to speak) and it is the 40th anniversary this year which triggered the global marches we all know as pride.
Surely a remembrance wouldn't go a miss, I mean it is now 40 years and as I have said, it would teach our youth of the struggle our forefathers went through to get where we are today.....
It's like Marshy said....
We should remember the past so that we can deal with the future
