"A person secures the flags during a ceremony where New York City officials re-raise the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, on Feb. 12, 2026, after its removal by the National Park Service earlier this week. The Trump administration was sued Tuesday over the abrupt removal of the Pride rainbow flag last week from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, at the site of the 1969 uprising that ignited the gay rights movement in the United States."
"The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan a day after a federal judge in Philadelphia ordered the National Park Service to restore an exhibit at Independence National Historical Park that contained information about the nine slaves who lived with President George Washington in the official presidential residence in Philadelphia in the 1790s. That order will remain in effect pending the outcome of the city of Philadelphia's lawsuit challenging the NPS's removal of the exhibit in January."
New York City officials re-raised the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument on Feb. 12, 2026, after the National Park Service removed it. A coalition of LGBTQ+ advocates and a Greenwich Village community group sued the Trump administration in Manhattan federal court, arguing Department of the Interior rules do not bar the display of historically contextual flags. The lawsuit contends Interior policies expressly permit the National Park Service to fly flags that provide historical context and cites the official Pride flag's prior display at Stonewall. The action followed a Philadelphia judge's order restoring an exhibit about nine slaves who lived with George Washington; that order remains in effect pending litigation.
