"LGB" is giving real "Gulf of America" energy

Reposted from Benjamin Dreyer

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.

No offence but this is not an America issue this is a bloody world monument that allowed so many people to be free eventually of the judgement of others. I can’t help both think these attacks are just Elon enforcing his own dislike of his families choice

Done.

Stormé DeLarverie, the trans man (described then as a “butch lesbian”) who threw the punch that started the Stonewall riots. The government didn’t start Stonewall, a trans person did. And that’s the real T.

I wish we could choose a crying face (or the heart). :(

I loved the section about "the LGB flag." The what, now?

It makes me sick that there is such recent and strong precedent for what the US Nazi government intends to do.

They began with the mentally ill. Then they moved on to the homosexuals and free thinkers. Then they targeted the races...

You start with a group, see how much, if any, general outcry or resistance there is and go from there.

Agreed. The government shouldn't redefine an entire community. It's OUR umbrella.

Oh, a feedback form. Those are always effective, I say as I type all of my feelings into it.

NPS claims they didn't do it and don't know who did. Odds are the DOGE dummies did a find-and-replace while rummaging through code.

The government cannot erase people, no matter how powerful it makes them feel.

emotoast.bsky.social•8 days ago

Keep trying to erase us! Let's see what you release upon yourself.

"LGB"? More like "KGB".

las1991.bsky.social•9 days ago

Appalling. The T is what started Stonewall.

delphinedenton.bsky.social•9 days ago

How long before they remove it entirely?

literally the first brick.... (well, maybe figuratively, it is a little historically unclear)

I just can't with the total compilation

If this text graphic I threw together over the state dept website is useful to anyone, help yourself. (Happy to send in other formats/aspect ratios as well, this was for profile bannery)

This enrages me. Enraged and very sad.

I already left "was this page helpful" feedback. Folks here should do the same.

Marsha P. Johnson, a trans woman, was the energy on that night. Without her, the fire might have gone out too quickly.

tonyjenson.bsky.social•9 days ago

Marsha P. Johnson one of, if not the, leaders of the Stonewall Riots.

There is a form where you can say that this page was not helpful. Just left some rather scathing feedback about the erasure of transgender people.

Time for another riot
