Somehow it's even more insidious that they'd change his history into misinformation rather than just deleting it. It's a prime example of their disdain for both trans people and the truth.

Absolutely disgusting. The T & Q have now been removed from the National Park Service's page for the Stonewall National Monument, with all mentions of LGBTQ+ changed to LGB. Why is this administration so afraid of trans people that it's denying their very existence?

Huge congrats to the 3 award-winning queer films at this year's Sundance Film Festival: Twinless, Come See Me in the Good Light, and Sabar Bonda (Cactus Pears).
Congrats also to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who get name checked in 2/3 of these fantastic winners.
Not this orange a**hole turning a national tragedy into an anti-DEI tirade.

Director Andrew Ahn celebrates a modern queer Seattle family with tender hilarity + excellent performances by Lily Gladstone, Bowen Yang, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, the iconic Joan Chen, & the fantastic Yuon Yuh-jung. A new queer classic is born.

Hey @nytimes.com, this very misleading. Technically Victor Willis may be the only member of the group who also founded it with the producers, but he is NOT the last surviving member of the original Village People.
