Donald Trump’s administration has removed a large rainbow Pride flag that had been flying over the Stonewall National Monument in New York City. The landmark is widely recognised as the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.
The flag’s removal came weeks after the Department of the Interior issued federal guidance on displaying “nonagency” flags in the National Park System, which includes a small park in front of the Stonewall Inn, the bar for which the federal monument is named.
