Will They Do It?

Something to keep track of.

Trump administration agrees to return rainbow Pride flag to New York’s Stonewall monument

By  JENNIFER PELTZ and MICHAEL R. SISAK

NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump administration said Monday it will resume flying a rainbow Pride flag on a federal flagpole at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, reversing course two months after removing the banner from the first national monument commemorating LGBTQ+ history.

The government revealed the decision in court papers as it agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by advocacy and historic preservation groups who had sought to block the Feb. 9 removal. A judge approved the deal.

The Interior Department and National Park Service “have confirmed their intention to maintain a Pride flag at Stonewall,” lawyers for the government and the groups wrote in a joint court filing.

The flag — one of several Pride banners at the 7.7-acre (3.1-hectare) park — won’t be removed, except for “maintenance or other practical purposes,” the filing said. (snip-details of position and measurements of the Pride flag)

One thought on “Will They Do It?

  1. Hi. I am glad that the government realized they would lose the case and either have to put all pride flags back up or take down the racist confederate flags / monuments. The glaring fact is the US government was insisting on flying confederate flags and saving confederate statues while banning pride flags, pride crosswalks, and anything woke which means anything the racist bigoted right hates is just rolling back all advancement in civil rights for minorities. Which is an attempt to keep the reality of demographics from happening which shows that the white majority has been shrinking constantly from a solid super majority to a soon to be minority status. Why does that scare some white men so much? They hide behind religious dogma but Jesus and his crew were not white so that fails. It is as if they feel that being a minority is bad or that being in the minority is equal to being mistreated. But if that is the case it is the white males that have been doing the mistreatment. All they need to do is push for equality for all and then their white male feelings will be saved while including everyone else. Or is that including everyone else the problem? They want to be king on the hill which kids played on snow banks, throwing down everyone so they stand alone on the top. What a sad want or need to be the top of everyone else. Hugs
