SAN FRANCISCO — The National Park Service is launching an initiative to make places and people of significance to the history of lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual Americans part of the national narrative.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell is convening a panel of 18 scholars next month that will be charged with exploring the LGBT movement’s story in areas such as law, religion, media, civil rights and the arts. The committee will identify relevant sites and its work will be used to evaluate them for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, designation as National Historic Landmarks, or consideration as national monuments, Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis said. “The Park Service is, in my view, America’s storyteller through place,” Jarvis said “It’s important that the places we recognize represent the full complement of the American experience.”
MIRRORS OTHER EFFORTS
The process mirrors efforts the service already has undertaken to preserve and promote locations that reflect the roles of Latinos, Asian-Americans and women in U.S. history.

ReplyDeleteSupport your local pedophile. I'll support my local church.
ReplyDeleteI personally have nothing against Gay Lesbian or Bi people, I even have several friends in each catagory. But what I do have a problem with is your choices being shoved down my throat. What ever happen to keeping your SEXUALITY quiet? I don't stand and preach about being straight, so don't shove it down my throat. Oh yeah and I love explaining to my child their choices. So cute their totally confused faces!!!! NOT!!!!

ReplyDeleteIt is called history folks.
ReplyDeletehow about a commemorative sign at the place of the former park & ride at rt 50 and phillip morris... they hooked up there for years !
ReplyDelete"It is called history folks."
ReplyDeleteWTF? So, by your limited logic, there should already be corresponding historical sites commemorated due to their heterosexual significance. Maybe you can name a few for me...
They want to do this, and yet they want to remove all references to Confederate Generals, and Nathan Bedford Forest, and any other slave owner that did good.
ReplyDeleteSo, is there a parallel generation of facts of hetero accomplishments, and, back then, did anyone give a rat's arse about this? Can I please shoot someone over this?
