"“LGB” change made to comply with Trump executive order on gender, National Park Service says."
"The National Park Service has removed transgender references from its website commemorating the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, erasing transgender activists such as Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera who were central to the movement for LGBTQ+ rights.
After President Donald Trump’s executive order recognizing only two genders, the page for the National Monument now describes an “LGB” milestone.
“Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal,” the government page read as of Thursday. “The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.”"
