cultureApr 13, 20267331

The Trump administration agreed in a legal settlement to permanently keep the rainbow Pride flag flying at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City. The settlement ends a high-profile lawsuit filed by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups after federal officials removed the banner and prompted legal action. The agreement returns the symbol to the federally managed landmark that memorializes the 1969 Stonewall uprising, resolving the dispute over whether Pride iconography can fly at the site.
