Trump administration agrees to keep flying rainbow Pride flag at New York’s Stonewall monument

The Trump administration agreed to continue flying the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, reversing a previous decision to remove it in February. The agreement was revealed as part of a settlement in a lawsuit filed by LGBTQ+ and historic preservation groups. According to court documents, the Interior Department and National Park Service confirmed their intention to maintain a Pride flag at Stonewall, only removing it for maintenance. The Park Service will display three flags on the monument flagpole, with the Pride flag flying between the U.S. flag and the Park Service flag. The flag was initially installed in 2022 during the Biden administration after years of advocacy.
