The National Park Service has recently removed references to significant transgender figures such as Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera from its website. This act is part of a broader federal government initiative to erase LGBTQ history from public discourse. While some historical content remains, multiple links are dead or inconsistently applied, leading to concerns over a lack of coherent representation. Critics, including advocates for LGBTQ rights, argue that this erasure undermines the legacy of vital activists and the historical significance of events like the Stonewall Uprising.
These efforts to tamper with our history set an unacceptable precedent. LGBTQ+ history is history, period. It should remain represented at national parks and on the National Park Service website.
The censorship appears to be slipshod. Some links are dead while others remain functional, revealing inconsistency in the treatment of LGBTQ-related content.
