Days after the Trump administration removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall national monument, New York City officials raised it again. A large crowd gathered at the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village to watch the flag return. This site is famous because in 1969 a police raid there started the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. The flag was taken down over the weekend. The Interior Department said only US flags, agency flags, and the POW/MIA flag are allowed at parks, except for some flags that provide historical context. The agency stated, “policy governing flag displays on federal property has been in place for decades” and recent guidance just clarifies its application. The removal caused anger in New York. Zohran Mamdani, the city’s mayor, called it an “act of erasure.” Julie Menin, speaker of the city council, and councilmembers Chi Ossé and Justin Sanchez wrote a letter calling the decision “deeply troubling” and said it shows a willingness “to sanitize and erase our history.” The city council passed a resolution urging Congress to respect Stonewall's history. Hours later, officials raised the Pride flag again beside the American flag. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, Manhattan borough president, said on social media, “The flag is up. The community should rejoice. We have prevailed. Our flag represents dignity and human rights.” US Congressman Jerry Nadler helped hang the flag. He said, “We won’t let Trump erase LGBTQ+ history. Stonewall was a rebellion. Stonewall was a beginning. Today, Stonewall is a call to action once again.” This removal is part of wider Trump efforts to change how history is shown in US national parks and museums. For example, panels about slavery were taken down from the President’s House in Philadelphia recently. The Interior Department criticized New York’s actions, calling the flag raising a “political stunt” and “distraction.”
