Protesters To Rally Today At NYC’s Stonewall Monument

CBS News reports:

Protesters are expected at the Stonewall National Monument Friday after references to trans and queer people were removed from the National Park Service website. The protest will take place outside the monument where the LGBTQ+ rights movement was born decades ago. Trans flags are still  flying at Christopher Park near the Stonewall Inn, and after hearing from its co-owners there is no sign that any will be taken down.

On the National Park Service website, most references to trans and queer people are removed, shortening the LGBTQ+ acronym to LGB, standing for lesbian, gay and bisexual. It follows an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office having the federal government recognize two sexes, male and female, which he had also mentioned in his inauguration speech.

An impromptu protest also took place yesterday. My first report on this trans erasure is here. Today’s action is scheduled for noon and I’ll have video later today.
