In committee, no Senate vote yet.
Senators Schumer and Gillibrand from New York introduced S. 3911 to allow the Pride flag to be displayed at all National Park System units. It also states the Senate's belief that the flag should be at the Stonewall National Monument. The bill has been sent to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for review.
Introduced Feb 25, 2026
This bill was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. For it to become law, it must pass this committee, then pass a vote in the full Senate, then pass in the House of Representatives, and finally be signed by the President.
If this bill passes, National Park units would have official authorization to display the Pride flag. Specifically, the bill expresses the Senate's view that the Pride flag should be permanently displayed at the Stonewall National Monument. It also explicitly condemns any past removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument, recognizing the monument's significance to LGBTQ history.
Supporters Say
Supporters say the bill recognizes the Pride flag's historical importance and connection to LGBTQ rights.
Critics Say
The bill implies opposition by condemning previous Pride flag removal at Stonewall.
The bill's findings emphasize the Stonewall National Monument's role in commemorating a critical moment for LGBTQ rights. Therefore, proponents would likely argue for the flag's display as a symbol of remembrance and ongoing struggles for freedom. While the bill text doesn't detail opposing arguments, its condemnation of the flag's prior removal at Stonewall indicates that its display has been a point of contention.
