“The NPS does not prohibit sales of Confederate flag merchandise at gift shops located on its premises; instead, it has merely requested that its vendors voluntarily withdraw such items from the shops,” the lawsuit said. “In contrast, the NPS has ordered the removal of all products recognizing the identities of LGBTQ+ people from its gift shops.”
