"The Pride flag will fly between the U.S. flag and Park Service flag, symbolizing a commitment to LGBTQ+ history at the Stonewall National Monument."
"The park service removed the flag in February, citing compliance with federal guidance on flag displays, which restricts flags to the U.S., Department of the Interior, and POW/MIA flags."
"Activists campaigned for the Pride flag to be flown daily at the site, which was formally installed in 2022 during President Biden's administration."
The Trump administration has decided to keep the Pride flag flying at the Stonewall National Monument, reversing a previous removal decision. This change comes as part of a settlement to a lawsuit from LGBTQ+ and historic preservation groups. The Interior Department and National Park Service confirmed their intention to maintain the flag, which will only be taken down for maintenance. Three flags will be displayed on the monument's flagpole, with the Pride flag positioned between the U.S. flag and the Park Service flag.
