US EditionSchumer Files Legislation for the US Flag, Pride Flag to Have the Same Federal Protections
Schumer's bill aims to give the Pride flag equal federal status to the U.S. flag after its removal from Stonewall National Monument sparked protests and legal challenges.
- On February 15, 2026, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer filed legislation to designate the Pride flag as a congressionally authorized flag, with Rep. Dan Goldman introducing a House companion.
- Interior Department guidance clarified that, following the January 21, 2026 memo, only U.S., historical, military, or federally recognized Tribal flags can be flown on park poles.
- At a site ceremony on February 12, 2026, local officials and activists re-raised the Pride flag after its removal, with Hoylman-Sigal saying, `I am Manhattan Borough president, 29th Manhattan Borough president, Brad Hoylman-Sigal, first openly LGBTQ borough president.`
- Politically, the bill faces long odds in a Republican-controlled Congress, while civil rights groups have sued the Trump administration, escalating the dispute toward federal courts.
- Notably, advocates say civil‑rights landmarks like Stonewall, designated a national monument in 2016 by President Barack Obama, should not be vulnerable to shifting administrations.
