Biden Agrees to Ban LGBTQ Pride Flags at US Embassies

Story by Mike Dorning (21 March 2024)

(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden agreed to ban US embassies from flying the LGBTQ pride flag as part of a $1.2 trillion spending deal to keep most US government agencies open through Sept. 30.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has been promoting the flag prohibition, which was tucked into the funding agreement, as a victory for Republicans as he tries to rally support for the measure within his party.

A Democrat familiar with the funding deal said the provision prohibits displaying any flag other than an approved US flag, so it also would prevent embassies from flying Confederate or Trump-themed "Make America Great Again" flags. There is no ban on embassy officials' personal use of Pride flags.

The prohibition on unapproved flags would only last for the duration of the funding deal, which ends Sept. 30.

More proof Genocide Joe is not an ally, except perhaps of convenience. In my opinion anyway.
