It's hard to believe, but overnight the National Park Service has removed "transgender" and the "T" from the LGBTQ+ acronym on their webpage about the Stonewall National Monument — a monument to honor the LGBTQ+ movement!
This is not just a slight—it exemplifies the ongoing rollback of LGBTQ+ protections under the current administration, specifically targeting transgender individuals.
This incident underscores the urgency of our work. If actions like these go unchallenged, they risk becoming entrenched, perpetuating discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals. We must act now to prevent this from becoming the norm.
Our vision is clear: a society where LGBTQ+ individuals are fully recognized and protected under the law, where diversity is celebrated, and where everyone can live with dignity and respect. This is about more than our fight for rights—it's about our shared humanity.
The outrage from every part of our community, including our allies, highlights that we are not alone in this fight. Together, we can build a resilient coalition to challenge these discriminatory efforts and ensure that history is represented accurately for future generations.This is not just LGBTQ+ history, this is American history. Transgender people, especially trans people of color, helped make this history. Now we must protect it.
On Inauguration Day, HRC launched our 100,000 Actions in 100 Days to call out and hold the Trump Administrative accountable. Your participation today will ensure we meet this goal.
