US diplomats have been finding creative ways to show support for LGBTQ+ Pride month after the White House banned them from flying the rainbow flag.
Before this year embassies had routinely hoisted the flag - but this year they were required to seek approval from the state department, which reportedly refused all requests.
On Tuesday Vice-President Mike Pence said the ban was the "right decision".
He said there were no restrictions on pride flags elsewhere on the buildings.
