Remember that queer history is global. There is not one country in the world that has no queer community and no queer history. No matter what the laws may be queer people have always existed and we have always made history and never let anyone tell you differently.

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history. 

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.

This is the banner that was put up on buses to create awareness! a lot of companies cropped out the bottom so I thought it would be cool to share the full version

go outside: the moon is coming towards you. it slips into the ocean and you follow it. it spreads bright, clear blue rays of light through the water, and when you wade in, you find it is warm. the sky is deep, deep indigo and the water is bright, so bright, like liquid stars. nothing will harm you here. stay as long as you like, and return home refreshed.
