Stonewall Pride Flag Restored

In a major concession to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, the federal government has settled a lawsuit over the removal of the Pride flag from the historic Stonewall site.

The administration had originally claimed the flag's removal was necessary to comply with new guidance on non-official banners on federal property.

However, the move sparked widespread outrage and a lawsuit from historic preservation groups who argued the flag was essential to the monument's heritage.

The settlement ensures that the rainbow flag will continue to fly on a federal flagpole at the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.
