I introduced the Half-Earth Resolution to honor my friend and famed scientist E.O. Wilson’s vision of protecting half the land and sea, and all the creatures that live there. We need to protect our special places for future generations of hikers, climbers, snorkelers, and bird lovers.

I've also noticed a State Department website on travel advice for LGBTQI+ dropping the T, Q, and I.
Lesbian, gay and bisexual U.S. residents still exist, for now; but transgender and intersex people have been erased.

This is especially infuriating. The bigots are co-opting our movement in an attempt to erase transgender people.

The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.
