Activists resist the Trump administration's removal of transgender references from the Stonewall National Monument, igniting major protests and a reexamination of LGBTQ+ history.
Overview
The National Park Service's recent removal of transgender references from the Stonewall National Monument website has ignited widespread protests and backlash among LGBTQ+ activists. Critics labeled the action as historical revisionism, asserting that it diminishes the vital contributions of transgender individuals, especially during the 1969 Stonewall Riots, a pivotal event in LGBTQ+ history. Prominent trans activists voiced their outrage, emphasizing the need for visibility and recognition. The website's changes appear to align with President Trump's executive order defining sex strictly as male and female, further entrenching a narrative that seeks to erase transgender identities from history.
