In a day and time when it seems the U.S. Government has gone mad and lost its way, it’s hard to be surprised. Yet, here we have yet another surprising story about Government wasting time and tax dollars to become an activist government with a special interest agenda.
According to a report out by the Associated Press, the National Park Service is putting together a committee to identify sites relevant to LGBT/homosexual history and name them to a historical registry for promotion.
You read that right.
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.”
When can we expect to the the Straight Pride historic site committee?
