Trump Administration Allows Rainbow Flag to Fly at Stonewall Memorial
Share:
The Trump administration has authorized the display of a rainbow flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City. The flag had been removed in February following a directive from the U.S. National Park Service. The memorial commemorates the June 1969 riots that erupted after a police raid on the Stonewall Inn bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood, a pivotal moment widely considered the beginning of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement in the United States.
