For the past nine years, the transgender flag was included among those that flew around the Stonewall National Monument in Christopher Park during Pride Month. However, the National Park Service(NPS) will no longer be displaying the Transgender Pride flag or the Progress Pride flag, stating a change of protocol as the reason.

Every day, the US strays further towards the Third Reich. This is painful to watch and a stark reminder to keep fighting at home (I'm not from the US).

It's only been flown for nine years?

Edit: Wait, I figured out that the monument has only existed for nine years so that makes more sense. Feel like the article could have worded it as "since the monument opened" or "since the monument's first pride month".
