Obama Invites LGBT Leaders to White House
June 23, 2009 by James Hipps
President Obama has invited some of the more prominent LGBT leaders to an East Room reception to take place this coming Monday, which will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots that took place in New York’s Greenwich Village, which is also viewed as the commencement of the modern Gay Rights movement.
The White House has yet to publicize the reception and an official list of attendees has not been posted, but many speculate the event was spurred by the recent unfounded and harsh criticisms that President Obama hasn’t done enough for the LGBT community.
