“Hundreds of people gathered outside the Stonewall National Monument on Thursday to witness local elected officials and activists raise a Pride flag in the same place where federal officials removed one just days before.
The action was in defiance of the National Park Service, which took down its own Pride flag from Christopher Park — a small triangle of land in Greenwich Village and the only federally owned portion of the national monument.
The site commemorates the 1969 riots in response to a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar adjacent to the park — broadly considered the birth of the modern LGBTQ+ movement.”
ONTD, the Trump administration does not get to silence us. We aren’t letting it happen.
