A   member of CNN's iReport community came out denouncing a recent visit by  some members of the GLBT to the White House. Not that these GLBT  persons visited the White House, but their behavior at the White House.

The report by mab91c pointed out the total disrespect these GLBT visitors showed of  President Ronald Reagan and to America's House. His report framed the  question, "Freedom of Expression?"

Those  GLBT individuals who displayed such disrespect even posted pictures and  made comments of how "out and proud" they were on various social media  outlets. Today, the White House finally announced its displeasure with  the incident well over a week later.

The  White House chided two visitors who posed for photographs in the White  House while giving the middle finger to a portrait of former President  Ronald Reagan.

The guests visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as  part of a reception marking gay pride month and the pictures were later  included in a Philadelphia Magazine article.

A White House spokesman said such behavior does not belong at the White House.

“While  the White house does not control the conduct of guests at receptions,  we certainly expect that all attendees conduct themselves in a  respectful manner. Most all do," Shin Inouye, a White House spokesman,  said. "These individuals clearly did not. Behavior like this doesn’t  belong anywhere, least of all in the White House."

As  a gay male I found the behavior of these individuals completely  offensive. These individuals are definitely not reprsentative of the  GLBT society as a whole. Their boorish behavior sadly paints all GLBT in  a bad light.

From  the Cornfield, why did it take the White House so long to take these  GLBT activists to task over the totally unacceptable behavior?
