The fact that the rainbow flag has become the de facto American flag is very fitting, and it made sense to have the flag flying over embassies. The US government is much more representative of anal sex than it is of the American people or the historical nation of America.
Pride flags can no longer be flown at U.S. embassies. The ban was part of the $1.2 trillion spending package signed by President Biden on Saturday.
“The bipartisan funding bill I just signed keeps the government open, invests in the American people, and strengthens our economy and national security,” Biden said in a press release. “This agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted.”
The Republican-led text in the 1,012-page package states, “None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be obligated or expended to fly or display a flag over a facility of the United States Department of State.”
What they’re saying is that it’s only banned from “flying over” the embassy, which doesn’t prevent it from being draped across the front of the embassy, which is where most embassies were putting it, so it could be very easily seen from the front of the building.
I have a statement from the Biden administration on the Pride flag ban above embassies.
Biden points to the defeat of 50 anti-lgbtq provisions, and states that they fought against the policy.
