They’d fucking better. What a disgrace this „administration“ is.
>Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal said he and other New York City politicians will try to re-raise the rainbow flag at the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan on Thursday after the National Park Service (NPS) removed it under an order from the administration of President Donald Trump.
>“The mean-spiritedness of the Trump administration seems to know no bounds, Hoylman-Sigal told Politico. “But we as a community are not going to take it standing by idly as our history, and by extension our human rights, are attempted to be erased.”
>“We may be prevented from [re-raising the flag],” he added. “But if we don’t seize this moment, and this outrage, I think we’ll let down generations of queer activists.”
…
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote, “I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors — without exception.”
>Gay New York State Sen. Erik Bottcher (D) wrote, “This is a deliberate act of erasure. This is a cowardly attempt to rewrite history and intimidate our community. Stonewall is where we fought back, and we are not going backwards. We will not be erased, we will not be silenced, and the Pride flag will fly again.”
>New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin (D) wrote, “Stonewall is sacred ground. It is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and the removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument is a deliberate and cowardly attempt to erase that history. This is an attack on LGBTQ+ New Yorkers, and we will not stand for it. Our history will not be rewritten, and our rights will not be rolled back.”
>In a letter to NPS, Menin and New York City Councilmembers Chi Ossé (D) and Justin Sanchez (D) — who both co-chair the council’s LGBTQIA+ Caucus —wrote that the decision to remove the flag “sends a deeply troubling message” that shows “we are willing to sanitize and erase our history and the very values that make America great.”
…
Christopher Street Executive Director Tyler Hack wrote, “The Pride flag was removed from Stonewall for one reason: to further erase queer and trans people from public life. Stonewall marks a moment when queer and trans people fought back and demanded dignity — its very existence poses a threat to an administration hellbent on employing state violence against anyone who does not look, pray, or love like them.”

Ketchup alert in the oval office
Good!! Stand up to him!!
The Trump regime inadvertently proves why Stonewall was, and still is, necessary.
Stonewall is a part of NYC history. Love seeing local leader stand their ground for what the neighborhood represents.
🏳️🌈
Every time maga gains power, they rush to push heads down.
Plain and simple, No.
Love Triumphs Over Hate
More people and organizations need to start treating this guy’s illegitimate, ridiculous, and often illegal orders like the jokes that they are.
For those of you who do not know NYC Stonewall is literally at the Christopher Street subway stop. It is in the heart of a major gay community. There is no way that flag is staying down.
Hell yea
The straight washing continues
Line the sidewalks that surround it with a hundred rainbow flags. Blanket the entire block in rainbows.
Good. Fuck that noise.
Steisand effect every shitty action they do, for every 1 taken down, 5 more put up.
Turns out the great again part of MAGA was the part where oppression was king
If Trump takes the bait and tries to send in federal troops to take down the flag again it’s really gonna be on.
States Rights!
Stonewall was a fight, I think fascists like to forget when their hate is appropriately met with violence.
They’re mad the world isn’t small and hateful like they see it. It’s not enough to have power they demand you like it too.
It is so nice to not have Eric Adams in office anymore. He would have done and said nothing.
Good! This is literally the least they can do.
Good. The party of limited government has their fucking hands in everything. And they ruin everything they touch.
More of this
Excellent!
Stonewall was a riot and the gays love a good second act. Let’s do it.
Where nobody was killed

If Trump can defy orders, so can we
Surround the damned place with pride flags!
