Chuck Schumer embraces gay pride

(SRN NEWS)-The Democratic Senator from New York has introduced legislation that would give the rainbow Gay Pride flag the same federal protections afforded to the United States flag.  His action follows the Trump administration’s decision not to fly the flag at a gay pride memorial in New York.  Schumer refers to the Stonewall site as “sacred ground”.  His legislation is unlikely to pass in the Republican-majority Congress and some critics say it’s a political stunt.
