    This is not true (yet). I see all the news aggregators are repeating it, though.

    Copying a comment I made on a cross post:

    The source for this article is here: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/after-trans-people-trump-now-erasing

    They wrote that piece well and linked to archive.ph so people can see the history. They have a snapshot from July 10th with ‘bisexual’ erased, but as of July 11th, it is back. As I write, the text they cite for the MAIN page (not History) reads:

    Before the 1960s, almost everything about living authentically as a lesbian, a bisexual person or a gay man was illegal.

    The History page (current | Jun 4 archive } April 19 archive uses LGB) is obliquely worded and has been for months, saying:

    Through the 1960s almost everything about living openly as a member of the Stonewall comunity was a violation of law

    It still omits transgendered as it has since the February ‘purge’.
