Research your destination before you travel

Is it time to take the T out of LGBT?
Recently, there have been calls from both trans and LGB people to obtain the T out of LGBT. While trans writers such as Katie Glover and Nicola Jane Chase have argued for the proceed, there has also been a controversial Change.org petition entitled ‘Drop the T’ headed up by a group of gay and attracted to both genders men and women. The crux of the problem rests in the evidence that sexual orientation is a very different matter to gender identification – as is commonly expressed, “sexual orientation is who you go to bed with, gender is who you arouse up as”. Critics argue that lumping the two together as LGBT or even LGBTI, LGBTQ and so on, just enhances confusion, misidentification and stereotyping. But is this a reason to tear apart a long-standing and historically effective partnership?

BREAKING: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REMOVES LGBTQ AND HIV RESOURCES FROM WHITE Property AND OTHER GOVERNMENT WEBSITES
GLAAD: “President Trump claims to be a strong proponent of freedom of speech, yet he is clearly committed to censorship of any information containing or related to LGBTQ Americans and issues that we face. This action proves the Trump administration’s goal of making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ Americans to find federal resources or otherwise see ourselves reflected under his presidency. Sadly for him, our community is more visible than ever; and this pathetic seek to diminish and remove us will again prove unsuccessful.”

Transgender references removed from Stonewall National Monument website
The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument website on Thursday, which now only refers to those who are sapphic, gay and bisexual.
What used to be listed as LGBTQ+, has been changed to LGB.
"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a womxn loving womxn, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969, is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement," the website now says.
The Stonewall Inn in New York City's Greenwich Village became a national monument in 2016 under former President Barack Obama, creating the country's first national park site committed to LGBTQ+ history.
The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969, began in response to a routine police raid on a queer bar, according to the Library of Congress. The conflict spanned multiple nights and drew national attention as bargoers resisted the police.
The Stonewall Inn and the Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative told ABC News that it was thanks to the leaders of transgender women who &q
