National Park Service Celebrates Pride Month With Rainbows Over Parks, Attempts To Link Battlefield Sites To LGBT History

The National Park Service (NPS) and U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) commemorated Pride Month on Tuesday by posting photographs on Instagram of rainbows adorning picturesque national park landscapes.

“The National Park Service preserves a variety of places commemorating America’s multi-faceted history and is devoted to preserving, protecting, and telling the stories of ALL Americans,” the NPS wrote along with a picture of a rainbow over Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Arizona and Nevada. “Discover stories that tell the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community to the nation’s history in parks across the country.”
