Despite the Trump administration’s stance against flying LGBT flags on embassy flag poles and despite a Russian law that bans LGBT propaganda that can or will be seen by children, the U.S. embassy in Moscow decided to fly the LGBT rainbow flag on its building last Thursday in honor of LGBT Pride Month.
The British embassy in Moscow did the same two days later, just days before Russians are to vote on a number of constitutional amendments, including to constitutionally define marriage as between one man and one woman.
“Today, the US Embassy in Russia is honoring THE LGBTI Pride Flag during the #PrideFlagDay celebration… LGBTI rights are human rights. Human rights are universal. Pride month is designed to emphasize that everyone deserves to live a life free from hatred, prejudice and persecution,” reads a message on the embassy’s Facebook page from June 25.
Representatives of the British embassy posted a similar message on their Telegram account on June 27.
Their actions were not warmly received in Russian society.
The Orthodox movement “Forty Forties” [named for the 40x40 churches that existed in Moscow before the revolution—O.C.] held pickets at the embassies on Sunday under the slogan, “Russia has its own values,” with participants holding an icon of the Synaxis of All Saints Who Have Shown Forth in the Russian Land, report RIA-Novosti.

As an American, I’d like to apologize on behalf of my country. The people do not have a voice here, we live in a dictatorship.
How is promoting sodomites good diplomacy?
Do they do this in Saudi? UAE?
Trump should call the ambassador back to DC and fire him. Who the hell is in charge here?
Why in the HELL is this Obama-era garbage still happening? What is wrong with Pompeo for not putting a stop to this?
I know a lot of foreigners, many from more traditional cultures, and most of them are not down for the more degenerate aspects of American culture. This shouldn’t be a plank of American foreign policy. Believe it or not, much of world is not as fascinated with abnormal sexual practices as a lot of us are.
Who is the person who authorized this travesty. What is his/ her/ their name(s)? Tell us who they are. Follow the trail. Send them packing. Send them home. They can work at an AIDS hospice and indulge themselves in pity and compassion for the hapless souls who have been destroyed by LGBT perversion. We should have compassion on the sexually confused, but never assent to it’s legitimation. Suicide should be illegal. If someone is absolutely determined to destroy themselves we probably can’t stop them, but we should not toss up balloons and shoot off fireworks while they run off a cliff. Recall and Fire this punk and replace him with a real man, or woman, who knows who they are.
I know. These people are an embarrassment. I wonder if these hypocrites are also flying the gay flag outside the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia?
Fire the ambassadors and their pansy staffers.
Isn’t the Month of Sodomy just about over?
We are making the world safe for perverts.
Time to bring the troops home.
