West Point makes history: Inaugural Gay Rights History Luncheon |
2015-11-10 |
[Pointer View] West Point's Inaugural Gay Rights History Luncheon took place Oct. 30 at the West Point Club Grand Ballroom. The event, which was hosted by the Cadet Respect Committee, filled its roster after just five days of it being announced. Class of 2016 Cadet Zoe Kreitenberg came up with the idea of the luncheon because no such event existed. "We have lots of events here for different communities," said Kreitenberg, the Brigade Respect Executive Officer. "We thought that it was unfair that we didn't have one for the LGBTQ community, which is definitely growing in its importance in American history, especially in my generation's lifetime." Kreitenberg emphasized that the purpose of the luncheon was to educate the Corps and help them become excellent leaders. In order to best educate her peers, Kreitenberg felt that there was no better way than to invite living history to speak at the luncheon. She reached out to Brig. Gen. Randy S. Taylor, the Director of Architecture, Operations, Networks and Space for the Army Chief Information Officer/G-6. "We're really lucky to have him," Kreitenberg said. "His experience relates to the overall history of the Gay Rights Movement in America and in the Army." |

#8 Only intermittent two part harmony, and simple harmonies at that? They aren't demanding much of themselves, though at least they're enunciating properly. One hopes some of their other pieces are a good deal less precious, and a great deal less redolent of junior high chorus. |

#4 Silly rabbit, you still think this is a republic/democracy, government in the interest of the majority? It's been a oligarchy for over a generation where minorities dictate what the life of the majority will be, with or without their consent. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |
