Protest Held At Stonewall National Monument After Parks Service Removes Pride Flag

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 10: People gather in protest at the Stonewall National Monument after the Trump administration had the National Park Service remove the LGBTQ+ Pride flag from the site, which is considered the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, on February 10, 2026, in New York City. The monument recognizes The Stonewall Inn, a legendary Manhattan gay bar that was the site of a 1969 uprising credited as a turning point in the modern LGBTQ rights movement. The decision to take down the flag has drawn backlash from national civil rights groups, LGBTQ+ advocates, and New York officials, and there is currently a plan to reinstall the flag later this week.
