Yesterday Erin in the Morning reported that the term “bisexual” was getting removed from the national park services pages. It was. They had proof – but now, they’ve reverted that change so it is NOT TRUE now. Perhaps it will be again, but PLEASE check before saying it is gone.
- Old news: they removed TQ+ from LGBTQ+ – that happened in February 2025.
- As of today, they still have the ‘B’. See for yourself:

The source wrote the piece well and linked to an archive 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’.
It’s tragicomic that this makes sense.
That sounds as likely as any other crazy uninformed reason the Trump team might have.
I do recommend watching those and other government pages because I’m sure this is not the end of the weird edits.
