So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history. 

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.

Let me explain what is happening here, because I don’t think that this post is very representative of why this matters.

The purpose of the theme studies, this one included, is to locate the physical remnants of the past, so that they can be properly preserved by governmental and nonprofit entities. They are not just descriptions of history, they are documents that can be used for grant work, for preventing places from being destroyed, or for promoting the restoration of those places. This theme study is a statement from the federal government that the preservation of these places is important, and that can be translated by the states into these places being legally required to be protected.

The theme studies are also really important because they recontextualized what it means to locate history in a place. This started before the LGBT theme study, there’s a lot of this in the Latino theme study, but they present a reconsideration of what you can call historic when the actions of a group left no physical traces on the spaces that they used. We are now seeing the possibility of considering places like cruising areas as historic properties because they represent the patterns of a culture.

This is the Park Service’s job. This is what you should be expecting from them. There are theme studies and special resource studies on dozens of things. A really important Civil Rights one dropped like last week. The Park Service is charged with running our national parks, sure, but the bulk of their work is like this. This is the type of shit that you can and should expect out of your National Park Service. Nobody else is gonna do it.

Okay. So why are you allowed to showcase men legends like Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar and celebrities. But you refuse to use women legends at Wrestlemania.

You mean to tell me we can’t get Sasha Banks vs Trish Stratus as a big time Wrestlemania match?

Or Bayley vs Lita?

Or Rhea vs Ivory?

Or Molly Holly vs Nikki Cross?

Or The Bella Twins and Lita and Trish thrown into the Tag title match?

JUST USE THE WOMEN LEGENDS FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

It feels like a dumb double standard that we can’t use women legends in a spot on the Wrestlemania card.

It’s also stupid that you lump all your women talent into one big tag match or a battle royal, like just give them big time matches and it works. 

Sasha vs Trish

Bayley vs Lita

Naomi vs Sonya

Rhea vs Shayna

Zelina and Carmella vs The Bella Twins

Liv vs Natalya

Mighty Molly vs Nikki Ash

I realize this would’ve just overloaded the card if we used all, but any one of these matches sure as shit would’ve been better than lumping everyone together in a tag team match or battle royal.
