Today 56 years ago, brave LGBTQ+ community members stood up against NYPD harassment at the Stonewall Inn. Important that we remember our transgender sisters who helped fight and led to the Stonewall Riots.

Their fight, and our fight continues today!

Happy Pride!

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 14, 2025
LGBTQ+ History Association response to NPS website removal of Transgender and Queer identities and history.

The LGBTQ+ History Association is outraged at the erasure of the history of important communities, and members of the Transgender (T) and Queer (Q) communities from National Park Service (NPS) Websites including: the Stonewall National Monument, Cold War, Lavender
Scare, and LGB Activism Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Governors Island in New York. The individual websites for legendary and important Americans: Pauli Murray, Marsha P.
Johnson, and the "Philadelphia's Heritage of LGBTQ Activism" on the NPS.GOV websites currently lead to dead links, which we call for the immediate restoration of these websites. From the beginning of the fight for LGBTQ equality and rights, the Transgender and Queer
individuals and communities have fought for, and continue to exist as part of the LGBTIQ communities. The erasure and removal of the “T” and “Q” from websites is unacceptable, inaccurate, and harmful. We as the LGBTQ+ History Association call on the National Park Service to restore both the T and Q on all websites immediately. History cannot be erased.

Today under the influence of the Trump Admin, the National Park Service has removed all reference to trans people in this essay I WROTE for their webpage in 2020.
