New York police find body of missing man they say was tortured for more than a month by 5 people

New York State Police have charged five people with murder in the killing of a missing man who authorities said died following repeated acts of violence and torture for more than a month by multiple individuals who later discarded his body in a field. The arrests were announced on Friday. The victim, Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man originally from Minnesota, was reported missing on Feb. 9. Police said he arrived in the Finger Lakes region in September and had lost contact with loved ones. Major Kevin Sucher said the facts and circumstances of the case were “beyond depraved."

US Park Service erases the word 'transgender' from website commemorating Stonewall riot

References to transgender people have been removed from a National Park Service website for the Stonewall National Monument. It's a park and visitor center in New York City focused on the history of a 1969 police raid on a gay bar that became a watershed moment for the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The changes were made in the wake of an executive order President Donald Trump signed on his first day back in office which called for the federal government to define sex as only male or female. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called the move cruel and petty in a social media post Thursday.
