Google has scratched several culturally significant dates from its Calendar app, opting to omit the start of Black History Month, LGBTQ+ Pride Month and more from its default 2025 schedule.

Last week, The Verge reported Google Calendar had removed a slew of diversity and heritage-related holidays from its standard slate of reminders, after users complained about the dates disappearing.

Along with February’s Black History Month and June’s Pride Month, Google Calendar no longer apparently marks the start of Women’s History, Indigenous Peoples Month, Jewish Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Month or Holocaust Remembrance Day by default.

Though many angry Calendar users accused Google of folding to right-wing pressure, spokesperson Madison Cushman Veld told The Verge the cuts were intended to streamline its scheduling system and that the changes were initiated last year, before President Donald Trump won reelection.

“Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader set of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the world,” she wrote in an email. “We got feedback that some other events and countries were missing — and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable.

“So in mid-2024 we returned to showing only public holidays and national observances from timeanddate.com globally, while allowing users to manually add other important moments.”

While Google’s spokesperson said the Calendar edits were apolitical, the company has made other efforts to bend to Trump’s whims.

When the president issued an Inauguration Day executive order to rename two American landmarks to his liking, the tech giant said they would updating Google Maps in accordance.

In late January, Google said it would replace the Gulf of Mexico with Trump’s preferred “Gulf of America” and revert the name of Alaska’s Mount Denali to Mount McKinley, once “official government sources” adopt the name changes.

Google also recently decided to abandon its diversity hiring initiatives, citing concerns about how the practices may violate “recent court decisions and U.S. Executive Order.”

Addressing why its standard “diversity, equity, and inclusion” language had been cut from an SEC report filed in February, Fiona Cicconi, the chief people officer for Google parent company Alphabet, said the corporation was “evaluating changes to our programs” to stay in legal compliance given “their role as a federal contractor.”
