Rainbow Flag returns to Stonewall National Monument to cheers in NYC

On Feb 12, New York City LGBTQ activists and city officials raised the rainbow flag at the Stonewall National Monument, where minions of Fuhrer Donald Trump had pulled it down earlier in the week and replaced it with the flag of the US Empire.

Now the rightful flag of this victory monument is back in its place!
