To designate the Pride flag as an authorized flag eligible for display at units of the National Park System, to express the sense of Congress that the Pride flag should be on display at the Stonewall National Monument in the State of New York, and for other purposes.
HR 7659 designates the Pride flag as an authorized flag eligible for display at all National Park System units, including national monuments and parks. The bill specifically expresses Congress's sense that the Pride flag should be displayed at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, which commemorates the 1969 LGBTQ rights uprising at the Stonewall Inn. It cites the monument’s significance as the first U.S. national monument dedicated to LGBTQ history and condemns the removal of the Pride flag from the site. The bill does not change existing park regulations but formally recognizes the Pride flag’s eligibility for display under National Park Service policy. It directly affects how the National Park Service manages flag displays at the Stonewall National Monument and other park locations.
