    (a) Findings; Purposes.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
                    (A) the Stonewall National Monument in the 
                Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City, New 
                York, commemorates the June 1969 uprising that occurred 
                at the Stonewall Inn in response to a targeted police 
                attack and longstanding discrimination against the 
                LGBTQ community;
                    (B) the uprising described in subparagraph (A) was 
                a critical moment in the modern fight for LGBTQ rights 
                in the United States;
                    (C) on June 24, 2016, the Stonewall National 
                Monument was established as the first national monument 
                in the National Park System to be dedicated to the 
                protection of LGBTQ individuals and the ongoing fight 
                for freedom in the United States; and
                    (D) the Stonewall National Monument serves as a 
                daily reminder not only to the LGBTQ community but to 
                all residents and visitors of New York City of the 
                Stonewall Inn uprising in June 1969.

                    (B) to condemn the removal of the Pride flag at 
                Stonewall National Monument; and
                    (C) to express the sense of the Senate that the 
                Pride flag should be restored at Stonewall National 
                Monument.
