The US government has agreed to restore the rainbow Pride flag to the Stonewall National Monument in New York City. The decision reverses a previous move to remove the flag, which marks the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.
The agreement, revealed in a court filing Monday, comes as the administration seeks to settle a lawsuit brought by LGBTQ+ and historic preservation groups. A judge’s approval is still required for the settlement to take effect.
The flag was initially removed in February, prompting legal action. This reversal represents a rare concession from the Trump administration.
The restored flag will once again fly at the national monument in Greenwich Village.
