The White House on Sunday slammed Congressional Republicans for including a provision in the government funding bill that essentially stops LGBTQ+ Pride flags f

The measure permits only certain flags to be flown over US embassies, including the US flag, US Foreign Service flag, POW/MIA flag, Hostage and Wrongful Detainee flag, flag of a state, “insular area” or DC, Indian tribal government flag, the official branded flag of a US agency, and the sovereign flag of another nation.

    I doubt many embassies were flying pride flags to begin with, it’s not a great idea to anger the host country.

      There are plenty of countries where the US has an embassy that are far more progressive and accepting than the US.
