Trump administration agrees to allow Rainbow Flag at Stonewall National Monument

"The settlement requires the National Park Service to maintain three flags on the flagpole: The Rainbow Flag, the National Park Service (NPS) Flag, and the American Flag, with the American Flag sitting on top."

"Within seven days of the filing of this Stipulation, the National Park Service shall hang three equally sized, three feet by five feet flags on the flagpole at Stonewall."

"The Trump administration told Gay City News that government-wide guidance dictated that 'only the US flag and other congressionally or departmentally authorized flags are flown on NPS-managed flagpoles, with limited exceptions.'"

On April 13, the Trump administration settled a lawsuit allowing the Rainbow Flag to fly at the Stonewall National Monument. The settlement requires the National Park Service to display three flags: the Rainbow Flag, the NPS Flag, and the American Flag, with the American Flag at the top. This decision follows the administration's controversial removal of the Rainbow Flag in February, which led to public outrage and a re-raising ceremony by activists. The government had initially justified the removal based on guidance limiting flags on NPS-managed flagpoles.
