The Past Recast

 

Stonewall Inn, 1969





 
 NEWS FLASH: The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument website on Thursday, which now only refers to those who are lesbian, gay and bisexual. According to a Park Service spokesperson, “The National Park Service is implementing Executive Order 14168 and Secretary’s Order 2416,” referring to orders entitled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” and “Ending DEI Programs and Gender Ideology Extremism.”

With that in mind:




 Who controls the present controls the past.

--George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

Quips and Quotations

A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.
