Growing Outrage Over Erasure of LGBTQ+ History and Trans Contributions
Recent actions by the National Park Service (NPS) to remove web pages dedicated to transgender activists and LGBTQ history have sparked significant backlash from various organizations and individuals. A petition has gained thousands of signatures urging former President Trump to refrain from erasing the contributions of trans individuals to the Stonewall movement, highlighting the historic role of trans women of color. Activist Dr. Bernard Schlager and others have voiced their concerns in op-eds, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and preserving LGBTQ+ history. With over 30 organizations joining forces against this erasure, the debate continues to gain momentum as communities rally to ensure that LGBTQ+ narratives are not silenced.
