Leaders, protesters raise Pride flag at Stonewall after removal
More than 2,000 protesters and New York officials defied federal policy to restore the Pride flag, highlighting ongoing political disputes over LGBTQ+ visibility and rights.
- New York City officials and activists re-raised the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument on Feb. 12 after the NPS removed it from the nautical flagpole, defying a Trump administration edict.
- Jan. 21 Department of the Interior guidance restricted non-agency flags in national parks, while activists say the Trump administration limited transgender recognition and gender-affirming care in the past year.
- Approximately 1,000 spectators watched as an attendee attempted to pull down the U.S. flag amid chants, and activists said `That flagpole was put up there for the sole purpose of displaying the rainbow flag`.
- The White House deferred comment, while activists and Stonewall veterans said the removal is an assault on transgender rights, warning it erases trans history.
- Stonewall's 2016 designation as a national monument underscores its 7.7-acre symbolic importance, encompassing the privately owned Stonewall Inn and Christopher Park, donated to the federal government by New York City.
