Stonewall Pride Flag Restored

In a rare retreat for the current administration, the federal government has settled a lawsuit filed by LGBTQ+ and historic preservation groups.

The agreement ensures that the Pride flag will once again fly at the site widely considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.

Activists had argued that the flag's removal was a targeted effort to diminish the monument's cultural and historical significance.

The settlement is being hailed as a major victory for visibility and civil rights at a time of heightened political tension over diversity initiatives.
