Following the National Park Service's decision to delete the word transgender from its Stonewall National Monument website, protests erupted with hundreds gathering at the site. The monument, celebrated for its significance in the U.S. gay rights movement, faced concerns over further erasure of transgender history. Despite the agency citing a presidential order for the changes, the community rallied, unfurling the transgender flag, and voicing their fears about what might come next. Representative Jerrold Nadler condemned the removal, calling it a deliberate act of erasure and an assault on truth.
