Nice to see our recent AJS article featured in Contexts! @evangelinewarren.com

Since this was written, the "B" representing bisexual Americans in the remaining "LGB" acronym has also been removed from the national memorial literature. It is difficult to keep up with the damage being done. @dcunningham-stl.bsky.social @contexts.org @lettapage.bsky.social @asanews.bsky.social
