Revolution.)









NEW YORK CITY : If you haven't noticed, the Empire State Building hasn't  
been able to make up its mind about what colors to be for the past few 
nights.  But what does it mean? The Empire State Building's website is not much 
help,  saying the colors should be "Private Lighting," which most likely means 
they  were either testing the lights or a private party requested those 
colors. We've  contacted the building to see what was up, but there are a few 
other  possibilities.
 
November 20th was the national Transgender Day of Remembrance, celebrated  
in remembrance of those who were killed from anti-transgender hatred or  
prejudice. It is also Children's Day, and Absurdity Day, both of which could be 
 represented by a rainbow of color.
 
In August, hundreds protested over the ESB's refusal to light up blue and  
white in honor of Mother Teresa, which they said they wouldn't do because 
they  do not honor religious figures with their lights. Though they only 
figure they'd  probably be honoring with these lights is Jerry Garcia.





Now, another controversy with elements of religion and location has erupted 
 in New York City. On Thursday, August 26, on what would have been the 
100th  birthday of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, more than 500 protesters converged 
on the  Empire State Building, the Associated Press reported.  The reason: 
the skyscraper's owners rejected a request by Bill Donohue,  president of 
the conservative Catholic League for Religious  and Civil Rights, to 
illuminate the fabled tower in blue and white ---  the colors of the simple spun 
cotton sari that the "Saint of the Gutters" always  wore -- to mark the 
centenary of her birth.




Well, we are talking about dissing Mother  Teresa, of all people. The Post 
Office couldn't even honor  her with a stamp this year without sparking a 
protest, and the Empire  State Building rejection.
 
"U kidding, Empire State Bldg officials?" Palin  Tweeted when she heard of 
the controversy. "U won't honor Mother Theresa's   compassionate, selfless 
efforts for humanity, but honor Communist Mao?" (Palin  was referring to the 
decision to light the skyscraper last year to honor the  60th anniversary of 
China's Communist Revolution.)

To make matters worse,  _Anthony Malkin_ 
(https://malkinsecurities.com/about-us/bios/anthony-e-malkin) , scion of the real estate clan that owns  the 
Empire State Building, has steadfastly refused to explain the decision in  
detail, which makes it appear as though he's scorning Mother Teresa in  
particular -- sticking "his middle finger into the face of Roman Catholics in  the 
United States," as Donohue, the ever-quotable megaphone of the Catholic  
right, has put it.

"This guy's his own worst enemy. I've never seen  anything like it," 
Donohue told AP. "Prudence would dictate that you just slap  on the blue and white 
lights and be done with it."

The iconic 1932  skyscraper was lit in red, white and blue in honor of the 
90th anniversary of  the passage of the 19th Amendment that granted women 
the vote. That decision was  apparently made after the Mother Teresa dispute  
erupted.
