Today In Gay History...

May 31, 1819 - American writer Walt Whitman is born in West Hills, Long Island. In the 1950s, when Philadelphia wanted to name a bridge after him, there there protests in front of city hall because of his homosexuality. 

My favorite Whitman quote:
 "Either define the moment or the moment will define you!"

Apt words considering our times.
