Hi! I use the map a lot in my work, so when I first saw that it was down last week, I reached out to PBS to find out more. I wasn't expecting a response so quickly, but they got back to me the same day. They didn't give me any information about why it was down, but the page was back up when they emailed me. Disappointed to see that it's down again, and staying tuned to hear more about the future home/iteration of this incredibly valuable resource. Thank you so much for your work
You are by no means the only person who uses this map in their work who has reached out to me. I wasn't aware that it was briefly up again, which is...interesting.
It will be online again in a full or expanded version, as soon as I have time, but for right now, this site is at least linking to the Google Maps API of the map, which PBS doesn't host, so it hasn't been removed, even if most roads to it have been. I hope this is useful to you.
I’m a transgender college professor who used your work in my class at the start of *this semester*. I am so angry to see this news. Your work is extremely valued ❤️🩹
Thank you for using the Map of Gender Diverse Cultures in your classroom. The whole reason I took on the job of re-authoring it was because so many educators were using the older map, and it was a real opportunity to improve a much relied-on, but very imperfect resource.
For the moment, there is one non-scrubbed link that still directly connects to the Google Maps API part of the work, which is the bulk of the reference material. I've pulled an archive version and it's currently available, here, although the main text is still not hosted online, which is a project I'll address, soon:
I’m the newsletter editor for OutHistory.org, and I know that the OutHistory team has been trying to host some of the NPS LGBTQ+ webpages that have been taken down recently, as an alternative place on the internet for people to easily access these resources. If this is something that might interest you, I recommend getting in touch with OutHistory!

I hope everyone writes to PBS to complain about this. Loudly.
