Trump administration agrees to return rainbow pride flag to New York's Stonewall Monument
The agreement requires the Park Service to restore the flag within seven days and keep it flying, with a judge retaining enforcement authority.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump agreed to restore the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument, reversing its February removal in a legal settlement ending a high-profile lawsuit.
- The National Park Service removed the flag in February citing federal guidance on displays, though advocates argued the move targeted LGBTQ+ expression at the site of the 1969 uprising that sparked the modern rights movement.
- Under the settlement, the National Park Service must reinstall the display within seven days, flying the Pride flag beneath the American flag and the agency's banner on the monument flagpole.
- Alexander Kristofcak of the Washington Litigation Group called the agreement "This is a complete victory for our clients and for the LGBTQ+ community," with the case dismissed with prejudice.
- The Trump administration continues placing federal parks under scrutiny to remove materials deemed "Divisive or partisan," a broader effort that previously led to removing transgender references from government websites and materials.
