Just more classy behavior at the Obama White House. A bunch of cretins blaming Reagan for their own wildly irresponsible behavior that caused the explosion of AIDS.
Gay activists make obscene gesture at Reagan White House portrait - Washington Times

The Washington Times - June 22, 2012
The White House expressed disapproval Friday of photographs showing gay-rights activists, guests of President Obama, making obscene gestures at the portrait of President Reagan during a gay-pride reception at the White House last week.
"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," said White House spokesman Shin Inouye. "Most all do. These individuals clearly did not. Behavior like this doesn’t belong anywhere, least of all in the White House."
Matthew "Matty" Hart and Zoe Strauss, both from the Philadelphia area, posted photographs of themselves on Facebook giving the middle finger to Mr. Reagan's official portrait hanging in the White House as they attended the party.
At the reception, Mr. Obama told the attendees that the day is approaching when gay citizens will enjoy full equality in America.
"We'll get there because of every man and woman and activist and ally who is moving us forward by the force of their moral arguments, but more importantly, by the force of their example," Mr. Obama said.
Mr. Hart didn't return a call seeking comment, but he told Philadelphia magazine that he despises Mr. Reagan's legacy.
"Yeah, f--- Reagan," Mr. Hart said.
