Schumer knocks Trump over Stonewall pride flag removal: ‘Effing disgrace’
Schumer aims to secure the Pride flag as a permanent, congressionally authorized symbol at Stonewall National Monument after its removal sparked community outrage.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer led a press conference at the Stonewall National Monument on February 15 and announced plans to introduce legislation making the Pride flag a congressionally authorised symbol.
- Following the Interior memo, the National Park Service removed the Pride flag under Trump administration rules, prompting activists to re-raise it on February 12, 2026.
- Community leaders warned that symbols and rights 'not secured in law can be threatened,' and Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal said, `I am Manhattan Borough president, 29th Manhattan Borough president, Brad Hoylman-Sigal, first openly LGBTQ borough president`.
- Schumer said he seeks bipartisan support, with the House measure introduced by Rep. Dan Goldman, and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- Designated a national monument in 2016 by President Barack Obama, Stonewall National Monument commemorates the 1969 riot that launched the modern LGBTQ movement, while advocates see recent flag removals as a rollback of LGBTQ representation by the Trump administration .
