Much is being made of the controversial photo of Sarah Palin, Kid Rock and Ted Nugent mocking a Hillary Clinton portrait during their visit with Donald Trump this week at the White House. But they were downright civil compared to a couple of Philadelphians.
Back in June 2012, a group of gay Philadelphians attended the White House’s first-ever gay pride reception.
Among the LGBT contingent from Philadelphia: publisher Mark Segal of the Philadelphia Gay News, celebrated photographer Zoe Strauss, and a guy named Matty Hart.
While they were strolling through the White House corridors, they decided to pose for photos with the portrait of Ronald Reagan, who was no friend to the gay community during his presidency.
And so, Hart and Strauss gave the Reagan portrait the finger. Segal, who was a bit more aware of the hallowed ground on which he stood, made his point without getting vulgar.
Strauss shared some of the images on her public social media stream, and Philly Mag published them along with

Sick Communist democrat bastards...
While it is true that Reagan interfered with (putting it mildly) medical research and the battle against the aids epidemic while many died the Clintons weren't much better. They spewed empty words to whatever audience stood in front of them and abandoned the gay community as well. Even their visit to the quilt was clandestine.
If true so what?.....Gays are all about themselves & pushing their lifestyle on everybody else & you can see that in the press & our sick mainstream media...They shouldve stayed in the closet....Putting their dick where somebody poops then thats what they get....Kudos to Reagan & Clinton if your post true for not catering to a bunch of sick in the head communist libtards in the past...
Are you actually trying to differentiate and just such behavior by the gays?
Do you think we can find similar justification to mock Hillary?
Both pictures are meaningless to me.
But liberals sure do like to pretend they'd do more for medical research. Why John Edwards once proclaimed paraplegics would be walking in 2004 if Gore was elected in 2000. Of course 8 years after democratic leadership, that's still not happening.
Algore promised to spend every working day fighting big tobacco. How did that work out?
Yep, democrats sure do lie about medical technologies, Obama even stunted their growth by creating a special tax fir them.
And you're justifying their bullshit now? Damn
Scott's not a bigot but the word "fag" or "faggot" is a derogatory term. I used to use it all the time until I found out it bothered some people. Because it bothers some people and is usually used to demean someone who has different views than me, I stopped using the word. I am working on the term "dyke" but I could do better
Not trying to be an ass, but it is just a personal viewpoint. I doubt Scott has a bigoted bone in his body. Just surprised 919 put a smiley face in response to the post.
