      I mean, how can you not make the same joke? It’s literally the thing. It was the first thing that popped into my head, too.

    They think covering up the fact that the first brick was thrown by a black, bisexual trans woman is going to make history un-happen.

    They’re still afraid. Use it.

    This is not true (yet). I see all the news aggregators are repeating it, though.

    Copying a comment I made on a cross post:

    The source for this article is here: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/after-trans-people-trump-now-erasing

    They wrote that piece well and linked to archive.ph so people can see the history. They have a snapshot from July 10th with ‘bisexual’ erased, but as of July 11th, it is back. As I write, the text they cite for the MAIN page (not History) reads:

    Before the 1960s, almost everything about living authentically as a lesbian, a bisexual person or a gay man was illegal.

    The History page (current | Jun 4 archive } April 19 archive uses LGB) is obliquely worded and has been for months, saying:

    Through the 1960s almost everything about living openly as a member of the Stonewall comunity was a violation of law

    It still omits transgendered as it has since the February ‘purge’.

    Back when the internet was awesome, one of my favorite sites was cockeyed.com (might still be around, haven’t looked). This was one of the first internet people I wanted to be! Great ideas. Great friends who helped him do his ideas. It was glorious. Anyway, one of his pranks was a fake “plaque” he set up in Sacramento. It was a great idea and one I think the world needs A LOT more of right now.
