Lgbtq drop the t

Tensions within the LGBTQI+ society have recently reached boiling point. Within the last year, Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual members of the community—the LGB as it were—have been voicing their increasing frustrations with the wider umbrella, even forming their own groups enjoy the LGB Alliance. Others have gone further, calling for an immediate divorce between the LGB and the TQI communities. Among their complaints are discomfort with what they view as activists pushing gender ideology on children and sexualizing Pride events.

I'm with them.

"Trying to erase them from the birthplace of the up-to-date LGBTQ+ rights movement will not happen!"

The National Park Service's public affairs department said the agency had taken the actions to comply with the executive order
