The National Park Service says gays and lesbians have been neglected by a lack of historic landmarks and trails to honor their struggle for equal rights, according to advance testimony to Congress.
The statement, obtained by the Washington Times, has been submitted to Capitol Hill for a hearing about Missouri Democratic Rep. William Clay’s bill to create a civil rights themed park trail. Mr. Clay, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, said in his bill the trail should mark "historically significant events related to struggles for civil rights based on racial equality, including signage or printed materials (or both) that provide information about the people and events involved in such struggles and associated with such location.”
But the NPS appears to have broadened Mr. Clay’s vision to honor gays and lesbians, as well.

Judging by the average “park ranger”, I’d say gays and lesbians have been “honored” quite a bit in the NPS already!
Do black bears eat lesbians?
Yep. Don't touch branch stumps and never, never put your hand is a knothole.
The Michael Jackson petting zoo?
Here lies the San Francisco bathhouse where thousands of homosexuals were infected with the AIDS virus.
LOL
Oh man......The Gerry Studds Boys Club Trail, the Old Dirt Road, the Brokeback Mountain Tunnel of Love...The Hole in the Back Wall Gang...
Why yes, they do. Reminds them of fish.
There’s an old Missouri Welcome Center just south of St. Louis that was closed because it was overrun with certain lewd activity. It used to be a pretty nice, up on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi. Maybe the Park Service can buy that, and restore it to its previous “glory.”
Patient Zero slept here.
kinda gives new meaning to hiking terms like “ off the beaten path, and ‘up the old dirt road’.
Do black bears eat lesbians?
Black bears are known more for eating organic foods and rubbish. Unaware of any documented cases of Black bears eating carpet in the wild.
“Do black bears eat lesbians?”
Yes. Yes they do.
The gays are able to beat them off.
What are they going to do, install handle grips on tree stumps?
Don’t forget the ever popular Hershey Highway.
I wonder if it will include the spot in Central Park where CNN's Richard Quest was arrested with that rope tied around his neck and to his wiener.

National parks are great places for anonymous buggery!
Here on this spot in 2007, a homosexual rave took place and AIDS was transmitted to seventeen new people. And only one spent condom was left behind.
Ranks right up there with the commemoration of our Founding Father's and the wars that were fought on our soil doesn't it. /s
