On the National Park Service website, the acronym LGBTQ+ has been shortened to LGB, standing for lesbian, gay and bisexual.
Other government websites have also been changed after President Donald Trump signed an order recognising two sexes only - male and female – on his first day in office.
Activists denounced the move on Friday and held a protest at the site, which is the country's first national monument dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history.
"There is no Pride without Trans folks leading that fight!," Stacy Lentz, the co-owner of The Stonewall Inn and CEO of The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, wrote on Instagram in a post announcing the protest.
