The National Parks Service has made controversial revisions by removing pages dedicated to prominent transgender activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, alongside other references to queer history. This action follows the recent elimination of all mentions of trans individuals from the Stonewall National Monument's website. These changes reflect a larger trend of erasing LGBTQ+ histories, particularly the contributions of transgender people of color. Critics highlight the troubling implications of this trend in the face of growing anti-trans policies at the federal level, reminiscent of previous exclusionary tactics.
