It didn't take long for Donald Trump to make changes in the Oval Office. Just moments after being sworn in as the President of the United States, Trump and his administration have already made a number of changes to turn back the progress made by the administration of Barack Obama.
Several pages have disappeared from the White House's official website, whitehouse.gov, after Obama's administration turned it over to Trump's team. The site previously hosted a page dedicated to the White House's support of the LGBT community, but it's been removed.
Other pages also have disappeared from the site, including those for climate change, health care and abortions. Meanwhile, some pages have been replaced. The one for civil liberties has been replaced with a page titled "Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community."
Almost all of the web contents associated with former President Obama's team are now moved to an archived website, obamawhitehouse.archives.gov. A statement reads on the archived website, "After January 20, 2017, materials will continue to be accessible on the platforms where they were created, allowing the public continued access to the content posted over the past eight years."
The transition has since caused a Twitter frenzy. Many users of the social media were quick to note that Trump's act of wiping clean the LGBT history was not in tune with his previous promises to his supporters regarding the future of LGBT rights.
"The new White House website has a full run down of all the magazines our First Lady has appeared on but the LGBT page has been taken down," one user wrote. "Just deleted climate change from the White House website," another said. "Congratulations America, you elected a moron!" User @dinalapolt said, "That didn't take long.....The LGBT page on the White House website is gone."

To delete cartain pages from the White House website, sends a message, when the deleted pages all represent disenfranchised minorities.
