“There has been a troubling and concerted effort by this White House to target our trans community. The removal of trans identities from federal websites and national monuments is not just dangerous, but it sends a harmful message that this administration does not value inclusivity or respect the lives and experiences of transgender individuals.
In the Bronx, we are proud to represent a diverse and vibrant community, and that includes our LGBTQIA+ residents. We stand firm in our commitment to honor and support all of our community members, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. We will never allow the existence, history, or contributions of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors to be erased.
Together, we will continue to fight for equality, visibility, and acceptance for every person, ensuring that the Bronx remains a place where all identities are celebrated.”
