It’s hard to walk a block in D.C. without passing a historic landmark; much of the country’s history was made here, after all. But out of the hundreds of places in the District that are included on the National Register of Historic Places, only two are recognized because of their connection to the city’s extensive gay and lesbian history.
That could soon change. This summer, D.C. received a $50,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Interior to identify the city’s LGBTQ landmarks.
