"Earlier this year, the Trump administration digitally erased transgender
people from the Stonewall National Monument, scrubbing them from the history
they helped shape. The decision sparked widespread protests at the civil rights
landmark and raised alarm about broader efforts to censor transgender people
from the public record. Now, new signs suggest the administration has set its
sights on another target: bisexual people. Key historical and cultural pages
associated with the Stonewall site have been updated to describe the uprising
as a milestone for “gay and lesbian rights,” quietly removing any mention of
bisexual or transgender individuals.
Signs that the pages dedicated to Stonewall were being tampered with emerged
early in Trump’s second presidency. Before the first update, the Stonewall
National Monument page acknowledged that "before the 1960s, almost everything
about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+)
person was illegal.” The revised version then stated, “almost everything about
living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal.” Now, a new
version of the page indicates that “Before the 1960s, almost everything about
living authentically as a gay or lesbian person was illegal.”"
