German film director Roland Emmerich is going to work on a new movie on the Stonewall’s riots of 1969.

The author of 2012, Stargate and The Day After Tomorrow will spend about $14 million (€11 million) to film the story of a gay homeless teen who comes to New York and joins the Stonewall’s community.

The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City.

An anti-gay Christian group has slammed US President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech because ‘homosexuals already have all the same civil rights as anyone else.’

In Obama’s second inauguration speech, he said: ‘Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.’

Richard Blanco had already made history as the first gay and first Latino inaugural poet in US history when he stepped onto the podium Monday (21 January) to deliver his poem One Today.

But he had no idea that day would be so history making in other ways in the fight for LGBT equality. President Barack Obama likened to the gay rights movement's Stonewall Riots to the civil rights milestones Seneca Falls (women's equality) and Selma (black equality).

The most pro-gay presidential inauguration ceremony in history concluded Monday (21 January) concluded with a benediction from an Episcopalian priest who included gays as among those created in God's image.

The Rev. Luis Leon of St. John's Church, located across the street from the White House, prayed that 'with your blessing, we can see each other created in your image, a unit of God’s grace, unprecedented, irrepeatable and irreplaceable.'

Last week, British gay organization Stonewall released a report titled ‘One minority at a time’ to highlight the challenges of black and minority ethnic lesbian, gay and bisexual people in the UK.

'Some people are gay. Get on with it!' is the new message from Stonewall to the UK government as Britain awaits same-sex marriage equality.

The charity, the country's leading lesbian, gay and bisexual campaign organization, had previously seen its messaging 'Some people are gay. Get over it!' go viral online and be turned into a series of products.

Now the subtly new message emphasizes that the time is right now to go ahead and give gay and lesbian couples the same marriage rights as straight people.

New York is arguably one of the most popular cities in the world. Just try to count how many songs and libations are named after Manhattan.

However, New York City is technically made up of four other boroughs that are equally amazing as Manhattan: Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten Island.

Last month, hundreds of thousands of people around the world celebrated pride day, a global event celebrating the 1969 Stonewall riots of New York that ignited the state-side gay rights movement.

Today (28 June) marks the 42nd anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City and over the past four decades tributes ranging from films to mesmerising street art have been created to remember the historic event.

The riots took place at the Stonewall Inn, New York City, after people in the gay bar fought back against the police who were carrying out an unwarranted raid.

Chile's leading sexual minority organization has launched a new anti-discrimination campaign.

The Homosexual Integration and Liberation Movement (Movilh) is encouraging families to support their LGBT relatives and friends with a campaign themed: 'When families advance, society stops discriminating.'
