“Taking down a flag does not erase our history. But it does remind us why we cannot rely solely on governments to tell it.
The Stonewall Inn is privately owned and independently operated. We are not affiliated with the federal government and we will never lower our flag or stop protecting our history.

That is why our history will never be erased-and at the Stonewall Inn, all flags representing our community will always continue to fly.”
