In a big middle finger to trump, the NY community, and local officials have raised the rainbow flag after Trump took it down.

Some quotes

New York politicians defiantly raised a rainbow flag Thursday at the Stonewall National Monument amid a boisterous, cheering crowd, rebuking the Trump administration for removing the well-known symbol of pride from the LGBTQ+ landmark.

“We will keep doing this,” he said, adding: “Our community is not going to stand for our park, our flagpole, to be disrespected by the Trump administration.”

A rainbow flag still appears on a city-owned pole just outside the park, and smaller ones wave along its fence, where a local volunteer maintains them.
