Schumer Moves To Protect Pride Flag At Stonewall

Via press release from Sen. Chuck Schumer:

Today, Senator Charles Schumer stood with local leaders following the Trump administration’s outrageous directive to remove the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument.

He said the removal of the Pride flag from Stonewall National Monument, the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, is a deeply outrageous action that must be reversed.

In the wake of the Trump administration’s attempt to rewrite history, stoke division and discrimination, and erase LGBTQ+ community pride, Schumer moved to permanently protect the Pride flag from the administration’s crusade against the LGBTQ+ community.

The Trump administration continued its assault on the LGBTQ+ community earlier this week with the removal of the historic pride flag from the Stonewall Monument in New York, citing a directive that it is not a congressionally authorized flag.

Today, Schumer moved to right that wrong by putting forth legislation that designates the Pride flag as an authorized flag, as well as express a sense of the Senate that the Pride flag should fly at the Stonewall National Monument.

“Stonewall has stood as a beacon of hope for the LGBTQ+ community – a reminder of the resilience and perseverance of those before us who fought for the rights they deserve. Stonewall is sacred ground and Congress must act now to permanently protect the Pride flag and what it stands for,” said Senator Schumer. “

Trump’s hateful crusade must end. The very core of American identity is liberty and justice for all – and that is what this legislation would protect: each national park’s ability to make their own decision about what flag can be flown. Attempts to hurt New York and the LGTBQ+ community simply won’t fly, but the Stonewall Pride flag always will.”
