somehow i don’t think vance is imagining the descendants of veterans of the US Colored Troops when he is speaking about people whose ancestors fought in the civil war

1. Stonewall National Monument took down trans flags and progress pride flags, opting only to fly the rainbow pride flag.
It erases the trans people who led the Stonewall uprising.
Thankfully, New Yorkers have been bringing their own and planting them.
