Ronald Reagan: Fingered After Death

'A pair of gay rights activists who were invited to the White House for a first-ever gay pride event last Friday stirred a controversy after being photographed giving President Ronald Reagan’s official portrait the middle finger.
'The guests, among them Philadelphia activists Matthew Hart, Zoe Strauss and Mark Segal, traveled to Washington, DC, on President Barack Obama’s invitation to observe Gay Pride Month.
'The event also came on the heels of Obama's recent declaration of support for same-sex marriage...'

Daily Mail. 

The bastards!!!

• The Mail finally let on the reason for the ad hoc protest in their last paragraph with a recycled quote from Matthew Hart (above, left); "Ronald Reagan has blood on his hands. The man was in the White House as AIDS exploded, and he was happy to see plenty of gay men and queer people die. He was a murderous fool, and I have no problem saying so. Don’t invite me back. I don’t care."
