LGBTQ Acronym Changes, State Department Website Updates
The U.S. Department of State updated its website to use the acronym "LGB," removing the "T" for transgender in several sections. Activists like Jax Gonzalez noted the historical shift of the "L" to the front of the acronym during the AIDS epidemic to honor lesbian nurses. The change signals a shift in federal recognition of gender identity under the current administration.
