Secretary Sally Jewell made the announcement at The Stonewall Inn, which was the site of the 1969 riots that helped launch the modern gay rights movement. It is currently the only site in the country designated a national landmark.

Since Sodom and Gomorrah are buried in sulfer and seawater, I'd imagine the public toilets in Dupont Circle in DC would be a second choice to kick off this important use of public funds. Perhaps they can add Lewis and Clarke to their perverted pantheon as the first Brokeback explorers, thereby planting the rainbow flag over huge swathes of flyover country.

Here's an LGBT site:

0bama’s birthplace would be a good site, if only we knew where it was.

[AppyPappy]

I have one.

But I need $20,000 to fix it up.

Every tawdry rest stop from coast to coast! Let’s give them all the attention they wanted, and then some.

[kingattax]

is there any doubt, any, that this jug-eared mongrel is a 100% queer ?

[samtheman]

Bath house preservation movement.

[fhayek]

I am so glad there is so much extra money lying around that we can use it for such things like this.

[maine yankee]

Put a brass placard at every highway rest stop and call it a day.

Found one:

Barack sympathizes with that and countless other filthy movements. Personally a queer? If so, God knows, there are rumors but no proofs, and it doesn’t help truth or accuracy to say it, even though there is a 1st amendment right to talk like a fool.

[Busko]

A vaseline factory will get that status.

[Publius]

The Crisco manufacturing plant.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Ah, make it a scoop-top plaque in the Southern style.

Wow, I think this thread takes the trophy for the most opportune gag lines in the history of the forum.

$250k would barely be enough to identify and mark as national monuments the ltqgb glory holes at restrooms, bookstores etc just along the I40 corridor

One wonders how long it will take him to name the bath-house back home, and the one not too far from the White House.

[Farmer Dean]

Our the place he first became a Power Bottom.He wants that to be on the registry of Historic Places.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment?

[Mastador1]

0bama’s birthplace would be a good site, if only we knew where it was.

I was thinking the bathhouse that Obama & Emanuel were members might be the first on the list.
