Standing just steps from the Stonewall National Monument flagpole, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Feb. 15 announced plans to introduce legislation that would ensure the Rainbow Flag permanently flies at the historic site.

“The Trump administration’s removal of the Pride Rainbow Flag from the Stonewall National Monument is a deeply outrageous action that must be reversed,” Schumer, flanked by several out elected officials and LGBTQ community leaders, said during the Sunday afternoon press conference. “It’s an eff-ing disgrace. It’s just awful.”
