"Stonewall has stood as a beacon of hope for the LGBTQ community - a reminder of the resilience and perseverance of those before us who fought for the rights they deserve. Stonewall is sacred ground, and Congress must act now to permanently protect the pride flag and what it stands for,"
"[The president's] hateful crusade must end,"
"The very core of American identity is liberty and justice for all - and that is what this legislation would protect: each national park's ability to make their own decision about what flag can be flown."
"Attempts to hurt New York and the LGBTQ community simply won't fly, but the Stonewall Pride flag always will,"
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced legislation to designate the rainbow Pride flag as a congressionally authorized flag and to block presidential or future-administration removals at Stonewall National Monument and other federal sites. The bill would preserve each national park’s ability to decide which flags fly while legally protecting the Pride flag’s display. Rep. Dan Goldman filed a companion bill in the House. The National Park Service removed the Pride flag from Stonewall after following government-wide guidance issued by the president. Schumer described Stonewall as sacred ground and warned that rights not secured in law can be threatened.
