Take action: No STONEWALL without trans and queer people.

The National Park Service has removed "transgender" and "TQ+" from LGBTQ+ mentions and content on the Stonewall National Monument webpage. This is our history. We must protect it.

Why This Matters

  • Stonewall was a defining moment for LGBTQ+ rights, led by transgender women of color
  • Removing transgender recognition distorts history and perpetuates discrimination
  • This is part of a broader rollback of LGBTQ+ protections, especially for transgender people
  • Unchallenged erasure risks becoming normalized, threatening hard-won progress
