According to court documents, the administration agreed to hang a rainbow pride flag at the New York City monument, which commemorates the struggle for LGBTQ rights.
The agreement ends a lawsuit filed by nonprofits over the flag’s February removal. It had argued that the Trump administration, through the National Park Service (NPS), was targeting the LGBTQ community and that the flag’s removal “is the latest example in a long line of efforts by the Trump administration to target the LGBTQ+ community for discrimination.”
“The NPS does not prohibit sales of Confederate flag merchandise at gift shops located on its premises; instead, it has merely requested that its vendors voluntarily withdraw such items from the shops,” the lawsuit said. “In contrast, the NPS has ordered the removal of all products recognizing the identities of LGBTQ+ people from its gift shops.”
