The history of the gay pride

Gay pride or LGBT pride refers to a world wide movement and philosophy asserting that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity. Gay pride advocates work for equal "rights and benefits" for LGBT people. The movement has three main premises: that people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity, that sexual diversity is a gift, and that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered. Marches celebrating Pride (pride parades) are celebrated worldwide. Symbols of LGBT pride include the rainbow flag, the Greek lambda symbol, and the pink as well as black triangles reclaimed from their past use.

Do you remember the first gay pride , the stonewall story in NEw-York?

The Stonewall Inn gay bar (circa 2003), site of 1969 riots which led to the modern gay rights movement.On 28 June 1969, a group of LGBT people rioted following a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar at 43 Christopher Street, New York City. Sylvia Rivera, a transgender rights activist and founding member of both the Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Activists Alliance, is credited by many as the first to actually strike back at the police and, in so doing, spark the rebellion. Further protests and rioting continued for several nights following the raid.

The Stonewall riots are generally considered to be the beginning of the modern gay rights movement.


Marchers in the 1970 Gay Pride march.Gay Liberation Front and Gay Activists Alliance in the early post-Stonewall era, coordinated the first year anniversary rally and then the "Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day March" (Archival footage of March) on June 28, 1970 to commemorate the first year anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. First year anniversary marches organized by other groups were also held in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1970.

Brenda Howard also originated the idea for a week-long series of events around what is now known as Pride Day; this became the first of the extended annual LGBT Pride celebrations that are now held around the world.

In New York and Atlanta the annual day of celebration to commemorate the Stonewall Riot came to be called Gay Liberation Day; in San Francisco and Los Angeles it was called Gay Freedom Day. Both names spread as more and more cities and towns started holding similar celebrations.

the telectroscope: a new monument in NEw York

The Telectroscope, an enormous Victorian-looking contraption that allows the viewer to peer into a scope and look through a long tunnel all the way to England, was installed near the Brooklyn Bridge this week. An identical contraption was erected across the Atlantic, in London. And it works.

According to Gizmodo: "St George says in the 19th century his great-grandfather, Alexander Stanhope St George, built a trans-Atlantic tunnel from London to New York which was forgotten by time. The artist discovered his great-grandfather's plans recently and using the diagrams installed parabolic mirrors at both locations that reflect what's happening 3500 miles across the pond." Of course, the smoke and mirrors here has more to do with fiber optics and the internet transmitting a picture in real-time. But apparently, if you have a friend in London, you can sign up for a simultaneous look at one another from thousands of miles away. The Telectroscope will be open to the public from now until June 15.

hot mystery surfer lifesaving story

"Kevin Campion, a 30-year-old ship's captain from Seattle, doesn't mind if his lifesaving deed goes unrewarded, they said. 'He's a great guy and it's an amazing thing he did and actually I'm not surprised that he would do it,' said Kenn Christianson, the brother of Campion's stepmother, Sonya Campion. 'He's just not sure he wants the attention to be on him.' The hero whom relatives later identified as Campion was hailed as a surfing Superman after he rushed to the aid of drowning Brian Jordan, 37, on May 17. Jordan was pulled underwater while trying to retrieve his speedboat, which had come untied from a Coney Island pier...Campion was brought up in Washington State and is a professional sailing captain and biologist, his uncle Bill Kinyon told The News in an e-mail. He sailed a schooner in the Caribbean, studied poisonous frogs in Central America and has surfed around the globe, Kinyon said. Campion, who is single, was sailing from Florida to Maine when he stopped in New York."

two men charged with sodomy

When the United States Supreme Court invalidated all state sodomy laws in the landmark 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling it didn't take those state laws off the books. Last night in my state, two men, in what appears to be a domestic dispute/sexual assault case that occurred in private, were charged by the police under the North Carolina's ridiculous "crimes against nature" law (CAN).

And, in the ultimate outrage - the police did not charge Flynn with sexual assault. As you read, the police captain 1) doesn't believe a sexual crime occurred; and 2) doesn't have a problem with arresting the men under this law, when everyone knows a heterosexual couple would never be charged with CAN.

A gay pride parade was held in Bucharest, Romania on Saturday, following demonstrations by nationalist and ultra-orthodox groups. It was watched over by approximately 1,200 police officers in riot gear:

"Two counter-demonstrations were held ahead of the parade. At one, members of a far-right group chanted 'Romania does not want you' in a protest they said was 'against sin'. Romania decriminalized homosexuality in 2001, but gay people often face hostility in this largely conservative country of 22 million where the powerful Orthodox church views homosexuality as a sin and a disease. Police said the gay rights march passed off without incident. 'It is encouraging,' riot police spokesman Marius Militaru told reporters. 'People are becoming aware that we are heading towards a degree of normality.' Last year riot police detained dozens of protesters who tried to break up a gay rights march."

dima bilan, eurovision winner for russia and nude performer

Russian television news bulletins on Sunday all began with reports about the victory.

Screaming teenage girls were shown dancing near Red Square in Moscow and celebrating in his native Caucasus region during the night.

'Victory for Russia'

"This is not just a personal success for Dima Bilan but another triumph for the whole of Russia," Mr Putin told the pop singer in a congratulatory message, Interfax news agency quoted his spokesman as saying.

Russia's Eurovision victory follows Russia's triumph in the world ice hockey championships and after Saint Petersburg Zenit won football's UEFA Cup.

"It's probably time for victories in Russia. This is an important victory. We've won hockey and football before but we've never won Eurovision," Iosif Prigozhin, a music producer, says on the Rossiya television channel.

Russia to host next year

Mr Medvedev called Bilan to congratulate him and says Eurovision 2009 would be held in Russia "at the highest level," Interfax reported.

Bilan was shown on television shouting "Russia! Russia! Russia!" to Mr Medvedev on a mobile phone before thanking the president for his call.

Bilan won the 53rd Eurovision song contest in Belgrade on Saturday with the ballad "Believe."

The victory was Russia's first in the pan-European event watched by more than 100 million television viewers around the world.

Street named after performer

In Bilan's native town of Ust-Dzheguta in the foothills of the Caucasus mountains of southern Russia, officials say they will name a street after the pop singer, Russian news agencies reported.

"I have received several hundred telephone calls congratulating Dima," Mustafa Batdyev, leader of the Kabardino-Balkaria province where Bilan was born, was quoted by Interfax as saying.

Arsen Kanokov, head of the neighbouring province of Kabardino-Balkaria where Bilan grew up, was quoted as saying: "We sincerely congratulate Dima Bilan.

"We were rooting for him. He's great and he showed a true will for victory.

"It's good to see Russia getting stronger and taking up leading positions in the world and not just in the field of art and sport," he says.
