The Trump administration has stopped flying a rainbow flag at the Stonewall National Monument. That's angering activists who see the change as a symbolic swipe at the country’s first national monument to LGBTQ+ history.

First they removed language mentioning trans people, now they removed the rainbow flag and soon the entire monument will be gone. "First they came" and so on and so forth.

I agree with you that the community will survive, yet there are many who won't.

“Monument for what, exactly?”

“You’re not supposed to know.”

Coming soon: a display tolling the virtues of the officers whose eyes and ears were offended by deviants during their very important law and order enforcement raids.
