I took these two photos in front of an old Dutch church in Kingston, New York, which has been there since the 17th century. The cemetery is filled with Revolutionary war veterans. You can’t tell, but there is now a “Gay Pride” rainbow flag hanging beneath the American flag (a recent addition) and you can also see the PC sign as well. The minister is also a female. This all is no coincidence.

Only a few short years ago this section of Kingston (and the city at large) was an economic ghost town. Every other shop on the Main Street was closed.

Then an LGBTQ center branch representing the county moved into an old bank building. Ever since then there has been an explosion of the homosexual “community” and the economy is on the upswing with Young Hipster families moving up from Brooklyn as well as many homosexual “families.”

Pricey restaurants, cafes and bars are starting to grow like mushrooms. Houses are being snapped up and rents are going up. Gentrification is now in full swing. Like I said, just a few scant years ago this was unimaginable, although it has happened before in other Hudson River towns like Beacon and Hudson, which is now a homosexual Mecca. All the working class people and the poor have been pushed out due to skyrocketing rents and real estate. Any town that is within 100 miles of New York City is now fair game.

I will admit that it’s great to see that Kingston, New York seems to be on the upswing again. Ever since IBM pulled out in the early ’90s, it’s been downhill. But it’s sad that it will inevitably come with a price. It will become yet another expensive Progressive city with a huge homosexual population.

Quite a lot of my mother’s family settled the Hudson Valley from Kingston to New Paltz, which they founded outright.  They were conscientious and courageous Christians of various denominations, Dutch and English.  Quite a lot of them died young for their trouble.

I wonder, had they known what would come of it, would they have bothered?
