Park Service deletes trans references on Stonewall Inn monument page

The National Park Service has removed transgender references from its website commemorating the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, erasing transgender activists such as Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera who were central to the movement for LGBTQ+ rights.

After President Donald Trump’s executive order recognizing only two genders, the page for the National Monument now describes an “LGB” milestone.

“Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal,” the government page read as of Thursday. “The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.”

Notice though that they left up the LGB -- and the page.

This means America is ready for a gay president.

Weird, I was repeatedly told that the only thing that right wingers cared about was saving girls sports. So many of you promised that you just cared about girls sports, and you were totally going to stand up and support trans citizens from being cancelled. This, and certain XOs seem to suggest that Trump is trying to eliminate an entire class of citizenry.
Were a bunch of you lying about how you'd stand up for your fellow citizens?

No you weren’t.

“Born in the wrong body.” is magical language and divorced from reality.
