Trump SHUTS DOWN requests to fly LGBT flag outside U.S. embassies!
 
Jun. 7, 2019 10:01 pm by SooperMexican • 76 Comments


The administration of el Presidente Trumpo refused requests from U.S. embassies to fly LGBTQWatever flags up on their poles in celebration of LGBTQanonophile month. Boo hoo.

Of course, Obama allowed it all the time under his administration.


Watch MSNBC freaking out about it below:

GOOD LORD they actually checked in with “humanity organizations” to see if there were any war crimes committed LOL!

BUT, they point out that you can still wave an LGBTQwutwut flag anywhere inside, just not on the big pole outside:

I think the McDonald's flag has more of a right to be flown for all the money they have paid employees over the years and all the food they have provided worldwide. :tongue2:

I agree. haha

The gay pride thing is way too loud in our society considering less than 2% of the population identifies as gay. These people have a stranglehold over the PC movement that left wing politicians are a slave to. They have issues and needs etc, but it's all way too in the face of our entire nation. We crossed the line and then just kept walking.

Press paints Trump as hater for saying 'no' to gay rainbow flag flying over US embassies
By Monica Showalter

Well, now it looks as though we have a gay flag controversy, something Democrats are sure to make a 2020 campaign issue with the press ignorantly reporting that the whole thing is being done to be mean.

According to the Washington Examiner:

   
Quote

    The State Department has rejected at least four requests from different U.S. embassies to fly LGBTQ pride flags during the month of June.

    U.S. embassies in Israel, Germany, Brazil, and Latvia have each made requests to fly rainbow flags on the embassy's flag pole, and the Trump administration has rejected each request, according to NBC News. Pride flags are still allowed to be displayed elsewhere in each facility.

Axios, citing NBC News, reports that the plan was to fly the rainbow flag either alongside the U.S. flag as its equal or perhaps directly under it on the same pole.

Quote
Details: American embassies are still permitted to have rainbow flags on the premises, but not on the flagpole alongside the American flag, per NBC. The embassies in Israel, Germany, Brazil and Latvia are among the nations that have made the ask and been denied.

It doesn't work like that. The military/government has very strict documented rules on how a flag must be flown and treated.

If someone equates a 'Gay' flag as equivalent to the American flag, then why not fly a Palestinian flag, or a Chinese flag, or a Pakistani flag. <--Why should they be left out? Are they not important?

Somehow Gay people are more important than entire Nations?

   Shirley, his first two didn't vote for him, (how much did that cost Michael Cohen?) Melanie, well, is she even qualified to vote?  Do they print ballots in Armenian in NYC? We know half of his immediate family wasn't even registered as Republican and probably still aren't.  I really can't blame them, it's useless in NY.

Both said they were going to vote for him before the election.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that diplomatic missions in Seoul and Chennai, India sent out a press release and a video advertising the flag hanging outside their respective buildings, while the U.S. embassy in New Delhi updated its Twitter cover photo showing a rainbow projected on it.

The embassy in Santiago, Chile shows a video on its website of a diplomat flying a rainbow flag last month for the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and the website for the Vienna embassy features a photo of the same flag.

Get a grip on reality.  Christian Conservatives never needed Trump to get their ""adrenalin rush"" caused by anti-Christian, anti-Conservative azzholes on the left.  Their kind of lunacy has been occurring for the past 20 years or more.  (duh)  It just got ramped up when Bathhouse Barry slimed into the WH.
