White House reception to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising

My husband, Curtis Chin, and I were among the several hundred LGBT (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender) Americans, allies and other guests who attended a reception at the White House on Monday, June 29, 2009 to help commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising.  Lest anyone forget, the LGBT pride parades, festivals and celebrations all across the world celebrate the birth of the modern LGBT movement and the fight for equality that Stonewall triggered.
