The Pride flag will once again fly over the historic Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village.
The Trump administration reversed its original stance after removing the rainbow-colored flag in February.
When the flag was taken down, the National Parks Service told USA Today that only the American flag and other authorized flags are allowed on flagpoles managed by the agency.
“I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani posted after its removal.
“New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it.”
The monument is viewed as one of the most notable LGBTQ+ historic sites in the United States.
It commemorates the clash between police and members of the LGBTQ+ community after officers raided the Stonewall Inn in June 1969.
For six days, gay men and women, so-called “transgender” people, bikers and street kids fought back against what they claimed was police harassment.
In defiance, a group raised the flag once again at the monument and it has been up since.
The Trump administration has agreed to allow the flag to fly, according to the New York Times. This settled a lawsuit filed by a number of left-leaning nonprofits.
“The government has acknowledged what we argued from day one: The Pride flag belongs at Stonewall,” the plaintiff’s lawyer, Alexander Kristofcak, said, according to the outlet.
“The flag will be restored, it will fly officially and permanently, and the court will stand ready to enforce that commitment.”
Some, however, questioned the supposedly conservative administration’s reversal on the issue in the current political context.
“How does this lower gas prices? Or give justice to the Epstein victims?” Townhall senior columnist Kurt Schlichter wrote in a post on X.
