Transgender reference removed from National Park Service’s Stonewall website

New York Governor Kathy Hochul described the change as 'cruel and petty,' asserting the importance of transgender contributions to LGBTQ+ rights.
Activists claim that the removal of terms erases the contributions of transgender individuals to the LGBTQ+ rights movement, as stated by Stacy Lentz from the Stonewall Inn.
