Pride flag returns to Stonewall

The government's reversal marks a significant victory for activists at the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.

Legal documents filed on Monday reveal that the flag will once again fly at the monument, which was the first national site dedicated to LGBTQ+ heritage.

The administration's original move to take down the banner had sparked nationwide protests and a debate over the protection of diverse cultural landmarks.

Advocates have hailed the decision as a major concession and a blow to the administration's broader assault on diversity initiatives.
