Rockefeller Center Replaces World Flags With Pride Flags


The Rockefeller Center in NYC has replaced 193 world flags with pride flags.

The outside courtyard of the Rockefeller Center usually attracts tourists from all over the world and has become an iconic place to take photos.

Take a look:

Users on twitter were furious that not even one American flags was seen waving.

Per The Rockefeller site:

Pride Month is as much of a New York City staple as Broadway and the Statue of Liberty. The month-long celebration started in Greenwich Village over 50 years ago as a tribute to the Stonewall Riots — each year, it honors the trials and triumphs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer communities. Last year’s theme, “Unapologetically Us,” was an ode to resiliency, with LGBTQIA+ individuals asserting their identities and reclaiming their space in the world. This year’s theme, “Strength in Solidarity,” brings the community back to its roots, emphasizing its history of sparking collective change.

Rockefeller Center is commemorating the occasion with its annual campus-wide fête. Along with Pride art installations across campus, Rockefeller Center is decorated in technicolor with rainbow pathways on Center Plaza and Pride flags around The Rink and the Weather Room at Top of The Rock.

The Rockefeller Center must play by the far left’s rules unless they want their troubled past to cause them to implode.

In the 1900s the Rockefeller Foundation founded a German Eugenics program that even Hitler admired.

In 2021, The Rockefeller Foundation admitted their troubled  past and issued an apology.

Here’s the Rockefeller Foundation’s apology:

The Rockefeller Foundation is currently reckoning with our own history in relation to eugenics. This requires uncovering the facts and confronting uncomfortable truths, and this investigation is underway.

As this investigation continues, The Rockefeller Foundation is putting equity and inclusion at the center of all our work: In our fights to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, promote green energy transitions and end energy poverty, combat hunger and food insecurity, and build pathways to economic prosperity.

Across our work, The Foundation is confronting the hateful legacies of the past—in laws, structures, and systems—that have suppressed opportunity for so many and are helping our grantees and the people they serve to overcome them. Of course, we understand that the work we engage in today does not absolve us of yesterday’s mistakes. However, our past does inform our present efforts to bolster humanity with advances in science and technology, and to reimagine the future. We will do everything we can to ensure that future is brighter, more equitable, and more sustainable—for everyone.
