President Joe Biden's administration will allow US embassies around the world to fly the gay Pride flag on the same flagpole as the American flag, reversing a Trump-era policy.In 2019, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blocked embassy requests to fly the symbol of support for LBGTQ people on the same pole as the Stars and Stripes.But now Biden's Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has given approval to fly the flag at diplomatic outposts around the world, according to a confidential cable reviewed by Foreign Policy magazine.The move comes before May 17, the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, and before June, which many nations recognize as Gay Pride month.

If you need symbology to tell people you’re proud, you’re NOT.

What the...? Wish I was a political cartoonist. I'd love to see a rendering of our brilliant foreign policy leaders: Cackling Kommila, Sec State Placeholder & Sleepy Grampy Joe ~ Winkin', Blinken & Nod.

Next, the banner of Queer Nation will be raised above Old Glory around the world.

But if the whole LGBTQ thing is truly rooted in our GENES, how can any person have PRIDE in what he or she is GENETICALLY DETERMINED to be. We might as well have months dedicated to BLUE-EYE PRIDE, BIG-BOOB PRIDE or even VARICOSE VEIN PRIDE

Yeah, Muslim countries really hated the hire diversity plan under Obama.Hillary, too.
In fact, we may never know just how that served to inflame those Muslims in Benghazi that fateful night.
But, if Biden/Blinken play these cards the way they are planning, we might just see a repeat.

Next the Gay Pride Rainbow colors will appear all over US military bases and will be flown on all US Navy ships with culturally appropriate ceremonies required when those colors are raised and lowered, including all military personnel rendering salutes. Quite a change from Trump that the leftist and liberal Democrats claim that the American people voted for.

We have been told for years that the Russians are coming ... but it's not the Russians. It's the homosexual lobby.

Number one, does he have the authority to do this with the flags, and number two, do Winken and Nod agree with him.

Where will it stop? How many special interest group flags can fit on the pole? Antifa's anarchist flag, BLM's stupid fist flag, China's flag, flags for each Democrat donor...? Maybe shrink the Stars and Strips to handkerchief size so more can fit.

I patronize a business owed by two gay men. Nice guys. You won't find them out in a pride parade at all. They think it's dumb and they have work to do.
Being a small business owner means this administration doesn't like them. They return the favor.

Have they already forgotten what happened when they sent an openly homosexual ambassador to Libya?
This will not end well.

I'm old enough to remember when it was a common part of American culture to honor humility and to view pride as one of the Seven Deadly Sins. When do we celebrate Humility Week, and where can I find a Humility flag?

Why run up a flag to celebrate sexual deviancy? That makes about the same sense as a flag for people who like whiskey or Oreos. Or they are left handed.

We have two pledges of allegiance here in Texas-- the United States Flag and the Texas Flag.
I will make no pledges of allegiance to any other flag.
We are being manipulated by the media and sold down the river for $$$ by "representatives" who get wealthy from lobbyists and corrupt "deals'.
Maybe its time for the states who do not want their 10th Amendment rights given in the Constitution to say NO, while the feds go off the deep end in some sort of 'virtue signaling' effort before it attempts to FORCE states to do likewise--
