The National Park Service's decision to remove transgender and queer references from the Stonewall National Monument website has ignited protests and widespread condemnation. Activists, including New York Governor Kathy Hochul, emphasize the essential roles of figures like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera during the 1969 Stonewall riots. The revisions are a response to Trump's executive order limiting federal recognition to two sexes. Protesters gathered on-site with messages like "You can't erase us". Organizations claim this change distorts history and diminishes the contributions of transgender individuals to the LGBTQ+ movement.
