Following an executive order from President Donald Trump declaring that the federal government would only recognize two genders, the National Park Service (NPS) has removed references to transgender and queer individuals from its Stonewall National Monument website. This change erases earlier inclusive language, limiting references to 'LGB.' Critics like Pride Live, which operates the monument's visitor center, condemn these actions, stressing the importance of honoring the diverse history of LGBTQ+ activism, particularly the contributions of transgender individuals during the Stonewall Rebellion.
The Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, which opened on the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, is now stripped of references to transgender and queer individuals following a federal directive.
In a symbolic and policy-driven act, federal agencies have begun erasing LGBTQ+ references, indicating a shift toward a strict binary view of gender, reflecting new executive mandates.
