    1. One Ghost It’s a historical event that began a major movement in American history. So of course people care. Duh.

  1. “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past”

  2. Do not confuse regular gay people with these activist/political grifters. Fighting oppression has become a cottage industry. Who could have guessed that universities would be the source for these cult like political coalitions. Sad.
