"The April 13 settlement stipulated that the Pride Flag will remain hanging at Stonewall and will not be removed save for maintenance or other practical purposes, but it also directed the NPS to place the American flag at the top of the flagpole."
"The latest changes to the flagpole come two months after the federal government infuriated queer New Yorkers and the broader American LGBTQ community by removing the flag without notice at the historic site."
The Rainbow Flag has been reinstalled at the Stonewall National Monument following a legal settlement. The new flagpole configuration features the American Flag at the top, with the Rainbow Flag and National Park Service Flag positioned below it. The flags were reportedly not present when the park closed on April 15 but were up by the morning of April 16. The settlement ensures the Pride Flag remains displayed, only to be removed for maintenance. This change follows backlash from the LGBTQ community after the flag's previous removal.
