The National Park Service removed the permanent pride flag from Stonewall National Monument on Feb. 10, 2026, citing federal policy, sparking backlash over LGBTQ+ erasure.
The National Park Service removed the permanent rainbow pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City on February 10, 2026, citing federal policy restricting flag displays to only the U.S. flag and those authorized by Congress or the Department of the Interior.
The flag, installed in 2021 as the first permanent pride flag on federal land, was taken down following updated guidance under the Trump administration, which also removed transgender and queer references from the monument’s website.
The action sparked widespread condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates, New York City officials, and historians, who called it an erasure of LGBTQ+ history and a politically motivated attack on visibility.
While the city continues to fly its own Pride flag nearby, activists vow to restore the federal flag, framing the removal as part of a broader effort to diminish marginalized voices in national spaces.
