NYC LGBT Historic Sites Interactive Map
This is a pretty neat interactive map detailing significant sites in LGBT history, such as Stonewall Inn and the building where the Mattachine Society once was, as well as plenty of others. I thought this was particularly relevant to our class given the readings on Gay New York, the Stonewall revolution and others.

This map is so cool! I really enjoyed poking around and reading about some of the sites.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's interesting to see how efforts like this work to show that "LGBT history is American history" (as we've talked about in class) and absolutely should be represented fully and appropriately in things like the National Register of Historic Places. There's definitely a ways to go, but it's encouraging to see work like this being done!
