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 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would officially authorize the Pride flag (the rainbow flag symbolizing LGBTQ+ pride) to be displayed at National Park Service locations across the country. It would also express Congress's preference that the Pride flag be flown at Stonewall National Monument in New York, which commemorates the 1969 Stonewall uprising—a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects the National Park Service and visitors to national parks and monuments. It would establish new rules about which flags are permitted at these federal sites.

LGBTQ+ communities and advocates would view this as a symbolic recognition of their history and rights, while others may have different perspectives on flag displays at government facilities. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No action has been taken since its introduction.
