In its latest attack against LGBTQ+ people, the Trump administration has removed a Pride flag from the historic Stonewall National Monument in New York City. Stonewall became the first national monument to LGBTQ+ rights following the 1969 Stonewall rebellion. This is a resident who lives across the street from the Stonewall monument.

Margot Avery: “It meant that there was pride in the fight for equal rights. And, you know — I’m going to cry — but anybody’s civil rights are impinged on, and that means anybody else’s can be, so that, you know, that is — that is a measure of our safety just smuggled away in the middle of the night, or whenever it was that they did it. It’s very, very depressing and sad.”
