"The Trump administration has removed a large pride flag from the Stonewall
national monument in New York City, marking the latest move by the federal
government to end diversity initiatives and sanitize the history shared in
national parks.
The monument commemorates the June 1969 riots that followed a police raid on
the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. The six
days of protests against the police action were a key moment in sparking the
modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and the site has since become a national symbol
of LGBTQ+ Pride.
“They cannot erase our history. Our Pride flag will be raised again,” the
Manhattan borough president, Brad Hoylman-Sigal, who is gay, wrote in a social
media post. He confirmed that the Pride flag had been removed over the 7
February weekend following a 21 January memorandum from the interior
department."
