Pride Flag Goes Back To Stonewall After Removal
NEW YORK — A large Pride flag was re-hoisted over the Stonewall National Monument Thursday by New york city officials, following its elimination earlier in the week. The act is considered as a feedback to the Trump administration and motivated hundreds to collect in Lower Manhattan.
- Stonewall is taken into consideration the birthplace of the modern-day U.S. gay legal rights movement.
- The flag’s preliminary elimination was perceived by some as an “act of violence” versus the LGBT community.
- The Division of Interior decreased to discuss possible additional removal.
- The DOI representative called the return a “political stunt.”
Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal led the event.
