ban them in federal buildings just this week, we thought it was a good time to add some suggestions for their replacements. Queer suggestions, that is.Surprisingly, LGBTQ monuments are virtually nonexistent around the world today. (Even though, ya know, same-sex marriage has officially been around longer than the actual Confederacy.)There are a number of fierce historical figures who said “gay rights!” before most of us were even born and who have made tremendous contributions to the LGBTQ community.
And they deserve to be celebrated!A few queer monuments we are already happy to see up and beaming include the likes of Harvey Milk, Walt Whitman, and Frida Kahlo.
