The Anniversary of Stonewall (The White House Blog)

The official White House blog notes the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a turning point for gay rights when the patrons of Stonewall Inn fought back against the police who had come to raid the bar for the simple fact they were gay. Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement Brian Bond writes,

With over 60 out appointees working in this Administration already, we are free to be ourselves.

I don't think that's how it works. 60 out staffers doesn't make up for the 272 service members discharged under the Obama Administration which promised to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
