The removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City has ignited significant backlash from the LGBTQ+ community and allies. This action, ordered by the Trump administration in accordance with new federal directives, has been interpreted as a deliberate act of erasure of LGBTQ+ symbols from national landmarks. The iconic site, pivotal to the LGBTQ+ rights movement, is now at the center of protests and calls for accountability as the community reacts to the removal of its representation from such a significant location.
