"From Selma to Stonewall"
Michelle Obama got a standing ovation, rallying GLBT supporters with a speech last night in New York on the eve of gay pride weekend:
We are all only here because of those who marched and bled and died, from Selma to Stonewall, in the pursuit of a more perfect union," she said at the event, held days before the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots between gays and New York police, and the city's annual gay pride parade.
"The world as it is should be one that rejects discrimination of all kinds," she said.
