Hundreds Protest Pride Flag Ban At Stonewall [VIDEO]

Washington Square News reports:

Around 200 community members gathered near the Stonewall National Monument on Tuesday afternoon to protest the Trump administration’s removal of a large pride flag from the historic Greenwich Village site.

The demonstration, co-organized by local activist groups including Gays Against Guns NY and Rise And Resist, began at 5 p.m. and lasted around one hour. Protesters held signs reading “BRING BACK OUR FLAGS!” and “YOU CAN’T ERASE OUR HISTORY” and waved pride flags while standing in the national Christopher Park, which sits in front of the monument.

“Our community is outraged — they are attempting to erase the history of queer people, of black people, of brown people, of indigenous people all over the country,” Jay Walker, the president of Gays Against Guns NY, said in an interview with WSN. “They are demanding language changes. They are taking down plaques. They are doing everything they can to deny the real history of this country.”
