Assuming you're actually arguing in good faith, the "erasing" bit has been quite obvious and blatant.

Removing people from information about a historical event doesn't look good under any lens.
Doesn't this change make it more historically accurate? In 1969, the year of the Stonewall uprising, the "TQ+" hadn't been invented yet as a cultural concept. The Stonewall Inn was a gay bar and was being targeted for that reason.
Not really, no, especially considering the involvement of trans people in the event itself.
For example, see the section regarding "Zazu Nova" on the current page

and before the erasure

Interesting to see the difference and I agree that's an inaccurate edit. For historical accuracy it should describe Zazu Nova as a gay man who was also a transvestite or drag queen.
