8,000+ Pages from Gov’t Websites Taken Offline, Including Crucial Info for Trans and Queer People

HeadlineFeb 03, 2025

The New York Times is reporting more than 8,000 government web pages across more than a dozen agencies have been taken down since Friday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has scrubbed pages containing health information related to LGBTQ care and to HIV. The State Department has deleted references to transgender travelers on its advisory page. The department has also stopped using the LGBTQI+ acronym; pages now just say ”LGB” to remove references to trans and intersex people.
