The National Park Service initially removed the rainbow Pride flag from the Stonewall monument, claiming it did not reflect the administration's sentiments. This action sparked protests and legal challenges from campaigners. Recently, the NPS proposed a settlement to fly the rainbow flag alongside the U.S. and agency flags. The flag will be officially hoisted below the U.S. flag within a week. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani welcomed this decision as a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and emphasized the importance of preserving history.
