The White House on Friday rebuked two visitors who were photographed last week at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue flipping the middle finger below a portrait of the late President Ronald Reagan.
The guests had been invited to a reception last Friday marking gay pride month. The images of them -- with both middle fingers raised, pointing up toward Reagan -- were first published by Philadelphia Magazine.
The White House did not approve.
"While the White House does not control the conduct of guests at receptions, we certainly expect that all attendees conduct themselves in a respectful manner. Most all do," Shin Inouye, a White House spokesman, said. "These individuals clearly did not. Behavior like this doesn’t belong anywhere, least of all in the White House."

OH!! yes of course, I should have indicated that.....!!
I figured this could be a nice tool to use to compare and contrast with the Palin/Nuge/ Kid Rock in front of Hillary painting story.
And so it has been...
You left off the date of the article, leaving the impression that this just happened recently.
The article’s date was: June 23, 2012
What the What? I see the problem right chere. Yeah, I do. The White House has no business holding a reception for queers..
THIS is NOT CURRENT events or NEWS.
This is a crap news story from 2012.
Would like to grab those fingers and break em. But only while wearing nitrile gloves. You don’t really know where the offending fingers have been. But you can guess...
Got it !
If I could edit, I would add something to title...
Mods do what you must with this thread. Dustbin it altogether if you must.
This article is from 2012.

It sure is. Looks like bryan999 here wanted to troll us? Dick move.
Well enough to know he is not stupid and he is no one’s fool....
How’s that???
What common trash. Their parents should be proud.
Why are you posting an article from five years ago?
“While the White House does not control the conduct of guests at receptions, we certainly expect that all attendees conduct themselves in a respectful manner. Most all do,” Shin Inouye, a White House spokesman, said.
But then we invited the homosexuals and respect and decency did not come along!
Schmucks.
IMHO
Wow. Some more uninformed Gay who bought propoganda that Reagan didn’t care about gays or AIDS.
To be fair, I don’t think Reagan did care about “gays”. He didn’t objectify people and of his many friends from Hollywood, they usually had first names and common interests.
When “The Gays” wake to being objectified, which they insisted on, then they will stop pushing this BS and insist on being treated simply as a person.
“The Gay’s” thing is bit like saying “The Blacks” or “The Chinese”.
Hey, let’s invite the “The Gays”. Pretty stupid.
Further, Rock Hudson, a friend of Reagan’s and he happened to be gay died of AIDS, as did a good many of his friends, mine as well.
Reagan was the 1st president to utter the words AIDS, mostly because no one had a name for it until his time.
More importantly, Reagan established funding for research into AIDS and insisted the budget each year be increased to find a cure.
These people need to be whacked with a clue by four and disabused of their ignorance....
Um, no. Not a troll.
And give me a break.
I meant to add “WAYBACK MACHINE” or something at the top. I knew it was old.
100% unwavering Trump supporter right here... so you can stuff that “troll” accusation right now. OK?
MODS PLEASE DESTROY THREAD before anyone else here has a fit.
THANK YOU for the “FLASHBACK” in the title!
Now everyone can relax. Especially Mr. Responsibility.
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out...
Not a dick move or troll.
The topic is still relevant and will come up again and again over the next 8 years.
There isn’t a professional aggrieved group who won’t be saying “Trump Hates_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _” and so do all Republicans.
Lately, I’ve simple responded to idiotic claims like by saying:
1. Prove it
2. Show me some examples of accomplishments for Equality that your side proposed, sponsored and marshalled through.
Believe it or not I have heard “EPA”, which usually makes me laugh my ass off and I tell them please, let’s change subjects. You are obviously marooned on an island that doesn’t allow facts or education to land on your shores...
If homosexuality were, in itself, fulfilling of the needs these malformed defectives have, they wouldn't need to augment their disasterous sexual deviance with all forms of flamboyant effete militancy. The sad truth is that the decision to be queer only creates a massive void, it never fills one. Hence the insane acting out in search of attention and reaction to attempt to hide from their pain. Deep in whatever is left of their souls, they know how wrong what they're doing is.
I guess we all sleep in the beds we make. Some of us rest quite well.

Relax Vendome.
The moderator has already cleaned up the mess that was made here.
These same ‘folks’ treated him no differently than they did when he was living. Disrespect comes in many forms.
