As gay American landmarks go, you won’t find more hallowed ground than the West Village bar on Christopher Street with the Dorothy dress in its window.
Regarded as the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement, it couldn’t be a more appropriate place for the National Park Service to announce its new initiative to fold LGBT landmarks into the narrative of American history.
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell is expected to announce the initiative Friday, the Washington Blade reported. Starting next month, Jewell will work in conjunction with 18 scholars to study and identify landmarks around the country that should be included on the National Register of Historic Places or deemed national historic landmarks or national monuments. Stonewall was named as a national historic landmark in 2000.

Re: National Park Service to Recognize Gay Sites
Griffith Park in Los Angeles, adjacent to Glendale and Burbank, might be a great addition to the roster, gays rendezvous there in order to do it in the bushes.abcdavid01 wrote:http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morn ... ional-map/
