Stonewall Pride Flag Restored

The settlement represents a rare retreat for the administration on a symbolic issue of major importance to the LGBTQ+ community.

Activists had argued that the removal of the flag was a targeted affront to the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.

Under the agreement, the flag will once again fly on a federal flagpole at the monument in Greenwich Village.

The move has been hailed as a victory for visibility and historical preservation by the organizations that brought the legal challenge.
