JUDY GARLAND'S BIRTHDAY & THE FUNERAL AND THE GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Next year will be the 40th anniversary of the death of Judy Garland. A few days later it will be the birth of the gay rights movement also known as the "STONEWALL RIOTS".
It was at the gay men's bar who were gathering together morning life of Judy Garland that caused the riots when the New York Police Department Broke up the party.
Well in the month of June we had 3 things. "Judy's Birthday", "The Death of Judy Garland", & "The Stonewall Riots". Because of the Stonewall riots this led many areas dedicating June as gay pride month.
Now we have holidays for different reasons. I think this country needs to honor the GLBT community by making the 4th Monday of June a holiday. This holiday is to honor all gays and lesbians. It would also focus on stopping the violence aimed at the GLBT community.
Its a holiday that is long over due.
