Trump Admin Surrenders to Pressure from LGBT Community in NYC, Allows Pride Flag to Be Raised on Federal Grounds


The Trump administration has lost in an effort to remove a “pride” flag from federal property.

Reuters reported on April 13 that New York’s Stonewall National Monument will once again feature a rainbow flag after it was previously removed by the National Park Service two months ago.

Reuters did not receive a comment from the National Park Service for why they did not continue the fight and chose instead to settle in a lawsuit filed by the Gilbert Baker Foundation.
