The Trump administration has altered the historical documentation of the Stonewall National Monument by removing references to transgender and bisexual individuals. Changes to the monument's pages now only acknowledge contributions from lesbians and gay men while omitting other identities within the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Early indicators showed that such edits began during Trump's second presidency when terms describing the community were simplified to focus solely on 'LGB' rights. The ongoing revisions have raised serious concerns regarding civil rights history and representation.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration digitally erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument, scrubbing them from the history they helped shape. The decision sparked widespread protests at the civil rights landmark and raised alarm about broader efforts to censor transgender people from the public record.
Now, new signs suggest the administration has set its sights on another target: bisexual people. Key historical and cultural pages associated with the Stonewall site have been updated to describe the uprising as a milestone for "gay and lesbian rights," quietly removing any mention of bisexual or transgender individuals.
