The National Park Service website for the Stonewall National Monument, a site commemorating the 1969 Stonewall riots, underwent updates this week to align with the administration’s focus on defined terms, The Associated Press reports.
The changes follow President Donald Trump’s executive order emphasizing the importance of recognizing biological sex as either male or female. This initiative has been praised by conservative groups for prioritizing clarity and biological accuracy in government definitions.
The updated website retains comprehensive information about the Stonewall uprising, including historical details and photographs of prominent activists involved in the movement. The revisions focused on ensuring consistency with the administration’s directive.
The move has been welcomed by many who believe in the importance of maintaining distinct categories based on biological sex, arguing that it is essential for protecting women’s rights and ensuring fair treatment in various aspects of society.
