There are now....
Williamsburg Gender and Sexual Diversity Research Committee
Actually, the Gender and Sexual PERVERSION research committee.
Going to be interesting to hear reenactors announce their preferred pronouns in 18th century American English.
Classic case of sowing the seeds of your own destruction. At at certain point, Wokeness will decree that the origins of Williamsburg and all that it stands for must be destroyed. The very ones who value its heritage will no longer want to go there and it will go broke or, to make a buck, turn into a shallow shell of its former self, much like Disneyland has done. Pretty sad.
All it takes is one pervert on the board of directors, holding a rainbow flag in one hand and a lawyer’s business card in the other. You try to stop me and I’ll sue you.
America is turning into Amerika one donk at a time.
You’ve hit the nail on the head.
I took my family to Colonial Williamsburg earlier this year. If someone visited there with no knowledge of American history, one would believe that the most important Founding Father was Sally Hemmings. Books about her dominated the bookstore and the Thomas Jefferson actor there was interrogated about her during Q&A.
That's already happened. CW has been one of my favorite vacation spots since the mid-80s, and it's nothing like its former self. And, because of that, they've been suffering financially for years.
One of the best events they used to host was Under the Redcoat, where the British -- a massive reenactor encampment, with British and native American troops -- took over the town for a whole week. That event would pack Williamsburg with families, and flood the historic area with visitors. That essentially stopped because of Leftist complaints about soldiers and weapons.
Then they started Revolutionary City as a replacement, which was a shadow of Under the Redcoat, but it was still fairly cool -- you could still be arrested by Redcoats and marched to the stockades if you didn't have "papers". Now it seems a majority of the special 4th of July events focus on slavery or woke topics. It's really sad, and it's killing CW, literally.
We thought about going for the 4th this year, but really only for the fireworks. Sad.
Well, I’ve heard some people say, that there have been transgender people and homosexual people throughout history, but that we have suppressed such history.
Well, we are now to be “educated” at the rich “L.G.B.T.” history going back to colonial times.
Monticello in Charlottersville is another landmark that has been ruined by wokeism.
It was a proxy for soap and related hygiene that only the wealthy and powerful could indulge.
This should be helpful for colonial gay history research:
Sodomy Case: Creoli Executed, New Netherland, March 25, 1646
“choked to death, and then burnt to ashes”
The New Netherland Colony court sentenced “Jan Creoli, a negro,” for a second “sodomy” offense. The record stated: “this crime being condemned of God...as an abomination, the prisoner is sentenced to be conveyed to the place of public execution, and there choked to death, and then burnt to ashes....” The rationale was cited as Genesis c. 19; Leviticus c. 18: 22, 29. The margin of the court record states: “he was executed at New Haven.”(1)
And on the some date the Calendar lists:
Sentence. Manuel Congo, a lad ten years old, on whom the above abominable crime was committed, to be carried to the place where Creoli is to be executed, tied to a stake, and faggots piled around him, for justice sake, and to be flogged; sentence executed. . . .(2)
I also visited Monticello for the first time thus year and was disappointed with the wokeness. My wife’s been there before and she said its gone downhill. Sad.
BTTT
Well, those “transvestites” were not averse to shooting at each other in a duel over some slight, either.
Virginia’s Republican governor and Trump need to weigh in: abandon woke, or we’ll call for a boycott.
