The prohibition was one of many side issues included in the mammoth $1.2 trillion package to fund the government through September.

Can’t we have both tho? Does a second flag somehow diminish the meaning of a country flag? Shouldn’t a country also show off their values, especially in embassies in other countries? Tho, America doesn’t value queer people so I guess it makes sense. Maybe I’m just not patriotic enough as a European, because if I heard that my country was removing pride flags I’d get quite crossed
Yes. Which is fine in most contexts, but for an embassy is basically the same as a sign saying what the building is for, so adding more flags muddles what should be a very clear message: “This building is an outpost of the US government.”
Yeah, flying a pride flag would be misleading. It’s like all the rainbow police cars were have in Seattle even though everyone knows cops aren’t on the side of LGBT+ people.
