President Barack Obama presided over a commemorative gathering for the 40th anniversary of Stonewall today. Was it enough to quash the anger being felt by an ever growing segment of the gay community? If you don't know what the uproar is even about, check out this Stephen Colbert clip for the most entertaining summation possible. If you want to see how today's event was received, I can think of no better place to look than AmericaBlog, the blog perhaps most responsible for kicking off the "rebellion" in the first place.

Obama and the big gay party
Well, it's over.
The President gave his speech to the big gay A-listers at the White House (well, minus those who were blacklisted). Boy, that crowd was really into it. They clapped wildly when he said the words, "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender." Just because he said the words. Even though Bill Clinton said those words - what? - 17 years ago? . . .
