Reuters is cited as saying the flag will once more fly at the monument, with Manhattan borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal calling the reversal a sign that officials \u201cblinked and backed down.\u201d The National Park Service did not comment on why it chose to settle the lawsuit brought by the Gilbert Baker Foundation rather than continue the fight. A Breaking911 tweet is included to illustrate the perceived political win for Pride advocates. The article frames the progress within a broader conservative narrative, noting Trump-era actions to limit DEI programs and adopt a \u201cOne Flag policy\u201d for embassies, and it uses opinionated language about resisting leftist demands and moral\/biblical justifications.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has lost in an effort to remove a &ldquo;pride&rdquo; flag from federal property.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/government\/us-government-agrees-return-rainbow-pride-flag-new-yorks-stonewall-monument-2026-04-13\/?taid=69dd5f307d0c9b000141648b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reported on April 13 that New York&rsquo;s Stonewall National Monument will once again feature a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/another-eyewitness-account-from-the-stop-the-steal-event-at-the-us-capitol-including-a-memorial-to-ashli-babbit-pictures-video\/\" title=\"Another Eyewitness Account from the Stop the Steal Event at the US Capitol \u2014 Including a Memorial to Ashli Babbit (Pictures, Video)\">rainbow flag<\/a> after it was previously removed by the National Park Service two months ago.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal raised a &ldquo;pride&rdquo; flag after the official one had been removed just days after NPS took it down.

Reuters reported on April 13 that the flag had been reinstated at the monument after the National Park Service had removed it two months earlier. In response, Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal raised a Pride flag himself after the official flag was taken down, saying the administration \u201cblinked and backed down.\u201d Reuters did not obtain a comment from the National Park Service about why it chose to settle rather than press the fight in court, a settlement connected to a lawsuit filed by the Gilbert Baker Foundation. The Trump administration subsequently agreed to keep a rainbow Pride flag flying at Stonewall National Monument, according to an AP photo and coverage by Breaking911.<\/p>\n<p>The piece frames the outcome as a setback for an administration that has sought to root out what it views as moral decline within the federal government. It notes that Stonewall commemorates a riot during a police raid on a gay bar, and argues that it is a monument cherished by leftists for celebrating what the author calls a sinful act. The National Park Service has stated that, with few exceptions, only American flags may be flown on federal property, leaving open the question of how a Pride flag fits into those exceptions. The article suggests that yielding to public pressure does not improve the situation and criticizes Democrats for what it portrays as a lack of stance.<\/p>\n<p>The text then references President Trump\u2019s early executive actions aimed at reducing what it describes as radical or wasteful diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and preferences in government hiring. It mentions a purported January 2025 order to end Biden-era identity-based hiring practices and a reported \u201cOne Flag Policy\u201d for embassies, which allegedly prohibited Pride flags or Black Lives Matter flags on diplomatic grounds.
