National Park Service Removes Transgender References from Stonewall National Monument Website

In a controversial move, the U.S. National Park Service has stripped references to transgender individuals from its Stonewall National Monument website, drawing widespread outrage. Advocacy groups and community members have criticized the decision, pointing out that the Stonewall riots, which are pivotal in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, involved significant contributions from transgender individuals. The removal aligns with recent policy changes, raising concerns among activists about the erasure of transgender history and identities from official narratives. A protest is scheduled to take place at the Stonewall National Monument in response to this decision.
