The only bright side is that these losers know nothing about the work these agencies do and are doing a laughably shoddy job as censors

Thank you! I'm hoping to do more soon (and get plugged into ongoing efforts such as the End of Term Archive).

That's a fantastic idea!

Sharing this here in case it's helpful to anyone following. I'm a librarian and I frequently use history pages created by federal agencies - this erasure is chilling.

I noticed that additional LGBTQ+ content on nps.gov had been purged and couldn't find a roundup, so I started tracking dead links. I hope it's okay that I'm sharing here, in case it's helpful to anyone.

As has been reported widely elsewhere, a number of other pages on nps.gov have been censored, with "transgender" and "LGBTQ" being removed. The censorship is sloppy, rushed, and incomplete; other content is still available (for now).

The Midwest, West Coast, and Puerto Rico get some attention in this guide to LGBTQ+ Latinx community spaces. Unfortunately, it's gone too.

An article about Philadelphia's LGBTQ+ activist history is also missing.

Another missing walking tour, this time for LGBTQ+ African American history in Boston. I'm stressed about whether this multimedia content is fully backed up anywhere.

The twentieth-century history of LGBTQ+ communities across the United States is documented in this WWII LGBTQ+ history page, now unavailable.

Another DC resource - a queer history walking tour is gone.

Pauli Murray has been removed from the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site. Pauli Murray, a friend and correspondent of Roosevelt, was a Black gender nonconforming lawyer, activist, author, and Episcopal priest. Read their groundbreaking family history memoir Proud Shoes, it's fantastic!)

Queer joy is excluded as well - LGBTQ+ content has been removed from the Fire Island National Seashore page.

A page last archived on January 17, 2025 about the first gay rights picket in front of the White House is gone. The page explains the history of LGBTQ+ protest in DC in the context of the 1950s Lavender Scare.

This page commemorating the 1979 National March for Lesbian and Gay Rights in DC is unavailable. The content invites visitors to the National Mall to reflect on connections between queer history and their own experiences.
