Stonewall Pride flag restored

Stonewall Pride flag restored

The Trump administration has agreed to restore the LGBTQ+ Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City following a legal challenge.

The settlement reverses a February decision to remove the flag, which had drawn intense backlash from community leaders and historic preservation groups.

Advocates argued that the removal violated the spirit of the monument, which commemorates the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.

The administration's rare retreat comes as it faces multiple lawsuits over its social policies.
