    Does a second flag somehow diminish the meaning of a country flag?

    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.”

    Tho, America doesn’t value queer people so I guess it makes sense.

    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.
