Trump Administration Reinstates Rainbow Pride Flag at Stonewall Monument Following Lawsuit
The Trump administration has agreed to resume flying the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, reversing its previous decision to remove the banner in February. This decision comes as part of a settlement in a lawsuit filed by LGBTQ+ and historic preservation groups who opposed the flag's removal. The Interior Department and National Park Service have confirmed their intention to maintain the Pride flag at the monument, except for maintenance or practical purposes. The flag will be positioned below the U.S. flag and above the park service flag on the monument's flagpole. The Stonewall monument, established by President Barack Obama in 2016, commemorates the site of the 1969 police raid at the Stonewall Inn, which sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
