After Donald Trump returned to the White House and issued an executive order denying the existence of transgender people, his administration has taken another brazen step to erase LGBTQ+ Americans.
The references to LGBTQ+ identities have vanished overnight from WhiteHouse.gov and several federal agency websites, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of State, and Department of Labor, based on a report by GLAAD.
GLAAD president and chief executive Sarah Kate Ellis condemned the removal of the pages, claiming Trump was “clearly committed to censorship” of queer topics.
“This action proves the Trump administration’s goal of making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ+ Americans to find federal resources or otherwise see ourselves reflected under his presidency. Sadly for him, our community is more visible than ever, and this pathetic attempt to diminish and remove us will again prove unsuccessful,” she said.
We won't be erased!!
