WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is rejecting requests from U.S. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag on embassy flagpoles during June, LGBTQ Pride Month, three American diplomats tell NBC News.
The U.S. embassies in Israel, Germany, Brazil and Latvia are among those that have requested permission from Trump's State Department to fly the pride flag on their flagpoles and have been denied, diplomats said.

If the state permits one group to fly its flag, it must permit *ALL* groups to fly their flags. Otherwise, the government is subject to a flood of Constitutional-based discrimation lawsuits. It's the only logical and Consitutional approach.

If they break the rule for one group, they are in for massive lawsuits if they don't break that same rule for other groups!!!
It's that simple!!!

Our federal government has designated maybe 80 different causes to be celebrated in June. Many have flags. They can’t all be flown.
Let’s have only the American Flag.

This is stupid. The LGBTQ flag should be flown. After all, doesn't it stand for, Liberty, Guns, Bible, Trump and Q?

Re#13. That was unnecessary. I respect your opinion, but you dont need to insult me and thousands like me who actually agree with Trump's decision.

I don't think this is anti-gay. I think it is just being fair to all groups of people. All groups make up the United States of America, not just one or two. There are so many groups in this country, we would need to fly multiple flags multiple times a day to cover them all. To fly the rainbow flag would be to show favoritism.
That said, I am not anti-gay. Rather, I am for ALL law-abiding Americans -- gay, straight, or somewhere in between. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -- under the law -- under Almighty God.

My little town is having a debate in the letter section of the small town newspaper over this very subject right now. The only HS in town is flying the gay pride flag over the American flag. Geez.

My deepest apologies for the chat.
#17. There is nothing to discuss, by joint resolution of the US Congress in Dec 1942, *NO* flag will be flown above the US flag.
The only exception is the Christian banner indicating services at sea. When the services are completed, the banner is removed.
No argument in the newspaper. I can believe an art teacher pulling this, but a principal ?

Why not just write to the Chamber of Commerce for either Sodom or Gomorrah and ask for one of their flags. They'll be so happy to pass them along for free, as long as their message gets out. /s

Dis Guy! I luv him.
With some folks in Boston trying to get a permit for a straight pride parade it may be that sanity is returning to the US. I have had enough of dems and media kowtowing to a bunch of people who are ill.. I think the sick, evil men competing with women made have finally awakened us to the lunacy. Gender confused folks are to be tolerated, not celebrated.

Enough of this Pride nonsense. They are only trying to convince themselves that what they do behind closed doors is not shameful and contrary to nature. They will never convince the rest of us and all they do is embarrass the country.
